NOWER HILL NEWS
February 2025
From The Headteacher Dear Parents and Carers
them to go on to achieve their dreams.
2025 has already begun as an excellent year for the Nower Hill community. We started the year asking our students to make new year resolutions and we can already see some of them coming to fruition. There are stories in this edition of children going to the theatre and explaining why it had such an impact on them. We hear of sporting excellence and one of our teams excelling in not just a regional, but a national competition. You can also read about our students taking on maths challenges, house challenges and pushing themselves to take up extra-curricular opportunities that they haven't tried before.
Whilst it is wonderful to hear of students winning and excelling, you will also read stories that demonstrate the fundamental commitment of our whole school community to ensure that we foster a strong sense of belonging at school. In our recent student survey 98% of students feel that our school encourages them to accept people from all backgrounds. We are very proud of our students for the part they play in ensuring that everyone is valued equally and included. I hope that you have a lovely half term with your families and I look forward to seeing the students after the break as the days get brighter and it starts to feel like spring time.
In this edition you will hear of some of the early successes of our Year 13 students who are going through the university application process this year. Every student in Year 13 put in an application and we have already started to receive some very impressive offers. We also have students beginning to hear back about degree apprenticeship offers too. Our students continue to be ambitious and are using the excellent foundations that their Nower Hill education gives
