    Nunthorpe to Apply for Academy Status

    We wrote to parents and carers in May 2011 informing you all of our intention to research the ‘pros and cons’ of Academy status for our school.

    This research exercise ran from January 2011 to September 2011 and was comprehensive and wide ranging. The final report from our Working Party was published in September and handed to all governors for their consideration.

    The New Academic Year has well and truly begun!

    We are sure you are all aware of our record results for the Summer 2011 examination season. We are incredibly proud of our students and all their achievements and would like to take this opportunity to once again say a proud ‘Well Done’ to all of them.

    Of course, these celebrations are always short lived as we turn our attention to supporting the students who will undertake public examinations this academic year. We are always trying to find new ways to ensure even higher standards and maximum support for these young people.

    Nunthorpe’s Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)

    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.
