NOWER HILL NEWS
December 2024
From The Headteacher Dear Parents and Carers It has been an absolutely wonderful term, filled with so many fantastic student achievements and enrichment. This edition of Nower Hill News is packed full of accomplishments and events and I would like to take this opportunity to say well done to every child who has been involved in the incredible array of opportunities that are offered at school. I had the pleasure of inviting students from each year group to join me for afternoon tea. The students invited had the highest number of achievement points in their year group. I have been delighted to meet so many young people with high expectations of themselves and with great ambitions for their futures. They told me about the things they have done this year that made them proud, and this ranged from getting full marks in an essay, to going above and beyond the curriculum by completing additional and optional home learning projects. We celebrate this hard work and determination, at this event, and across the curriculum. As we come to the end of the term and reflect on all that has been achieved, I would like to say a particular well done to all students in Year 11 and 13 who have completed a full suite of mock examinations. This takes grit and perseverance from the students and all who support them.
UPCOMING EVENTS
I hope that all students and their families have a restful and relaxing break, and a very happy Christmas to all those in our community who celebrate.
