NOWER HILL NEWS
October 2024
From The Headteacher Dear Parents and Carers Welcome to the first edition of Nower Hill News for this academic year, and my first edition as Headteacher. In the News you will be able to read about many of the fantastic achievements of our students and the events and opportunities that they have been participating in. There are so many wonderful opportunities here and I hope that you will enjoy reading through these snapshots with your child as they think about what they would like to join or take part in over the next year.
I have absolutely loved joining this ambitious and friendly school. I have met your children, and many of you, and want to say thank you for the very warm welcome. I look forward to working with you moving forward to continue to deliver an outstanding education for all the young people in our school.
I would like to extend my thanks to you all for navigating a new parental communication system this half term. The school has moved to 'My Child At School' as our online application for school information and it has been wonderful to work with parents and carers to problem solve and get the best functionality from our new system. Our Year 11, 12 and 13 tracking information has all gone out through this medium this half term. You can also find your child's mock exam timetable on the app if they are in Year 11 or 13. There is a section called 'tracking and other important documents' and you will find it all there. Whilst there are no photographs or testimonials about this, it has certainly been big news, and deserves a place in our newspaper for this edition.
I want to wish you all a very happy and restful half term break, and happy Diwali to all those in our community who are celebrating.
Jo Skelhorne Headteacher
