NUSA is wonderful school community where pupils and staff are happy. The following quote from the recent Ofsted report captures what a warm and inviting place that it is:
“Pupils are proud and happy to be part of this inclusive school. The atmosphere is cheerful and friendly. Pupils feel safe. They have positive relationships with staff, who know them well and challenge them. Pupils also have respectful relationships with each other. One simply said, ‘We all just get along.’ The school expects everyone to work hard and be kind. Pupils understand this. They say staff are fair. They trust staff to address any disruption so that learning can continue. Pupils get ‘green flags’
when they go above and beyond expectations. This motivates them.” Ofsted (May 2023)
Our aim is to ensure that all pupils reach their full potential. The recent examination results for the school demonstrate the excellent progress that the school has made in recent years. We however know that we can do even better for our pupils, to give them the very best life chances. Our staff are committed and driven to do all they can for our school community. We know and understand that school is more than just examination outcomes. We work hard to ensure that our pupils leave school as good citizens, are ‘rounded and grounded’ and who make positive contributions to society. The school celebrates diversity; our recent survey of pupils told us that pupils at NUSA feel safe, they enjoy the diverse communities in the school and say to us that they feel that they belong. We are really proud of this.
