Nunthorpe School has been invited to join the Arkwright Scholarships Trust. The trust encourages the most talented young people to consider a career in the field of design and engineering.
You will be aware that current Met Office weather warnings indicate some possible snow disruption in our region this coming Saturday night/Sunday morning. Clearly we hope that any disruption will not run into Monday or any of the next working week.
Obviously, should we have any specific issues caused by this weather, our usual Adverse Weather arrangements (detailed in the News section of our website:- Adverse Weather Arrangements : School blog : News – Nunthorpe School) will be actioned.
There have been a variety of items uploaded to the website recently, here is a list of the most important changes.
Nunthorpe Email: We have recently experienced issues with our email system. These issues are now resolved. Please accept our apologies if you were unable to contact the school between Friday 20 – Monday 23 inclusive.
I am writing to you to give you more information on Nunthorpe’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), Moodle. I am sure many of you have seen your child accessing work through Moodle at home and also want to know more about what it is and how it can be used.
Moodle is primarily a Learning platform on our school website, which is an online area where students can access work, extend their learning and take part in a wide range of learning activities. All students have a unique login to Moodle which allows them to access the different courses created by their teachers. Within these courses they will find their homework and links to lesson resources and other websites. By accessing Moodle with your child you will be able to find out what he/she is doing in certain lessons and also be able to help keep track of any homework.
