We are happy to introduce ourselves as the new head boy and girl for 2010-2011. We are writing this blog to tell you how we got this job and why we think we can make a difference to Nunthorpe School.

As former house captains, we were selected for an interview after a letter of application to Ms Clinton and Mrs Smith. We were successful in securing this important role because of our enthusiasm and ideas for improvements to make the school “Outstanding.”

Our main personal project will be on teaching and learning and we will work closely with teachers in the planning and assessment of lessons, to make those five hours better for every member of our school community.

Over the next academic year, our two aims will be to make our school an “Outstanding” environment and to make the students proud to be a part of our school. We will do this through close communications with you and trying to make lessons more enjoyable and productive for everyone, students and staff alike, by building the community spirit and competitive vibe within the school.

Hopefully by this time next year we will have clearly achieved these goals and left our mark on Nunthorpe School.

We’ll see you around school so feel free to stop and talk to us about anything, your ideas will be valued.

Anyone who has any ideas to drive the school to outstanding, please feel free to post your ideas here in this blog or you can email us at jharris6088@nunthorpe.co.uk

From Joe and Emma

    Well done you two – please pop into the Sixth Form and share any ideas you have with me on how you would like the Sixth formers to be more involved in the main school; or if you would like to look at teaching/learning in the Sixth Form with regards to planning and assessment.

    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.
