A day in the Life of a Year 7 student

Parent Comments

  • I would like to take this opportunity to offer my gratitude to the school. My daughter joined the school in March ( Year 10), and before that, she was studying in year 9 in Sri Lanka. But currently, with all of your great support and proper guidance she is carrying out her studies well. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the teachers and  school administration for creating such a suitable environment for her success.

  • Dear all NK staff, I am sorry I have not been in touch each week or taken part in your extra online activities, I even admit I haven’t read all your daily emails . Sorry.
    This period of time has been eventful, emotional and some days have been harder than others.
    Throughout I have been aware of you all working at school to support all the children and prepare for the uncertainty of things still to come. I thank you for this.
    During this time I have learnt how to upload, download navigate Microsoft teams, (unfortunately algebra is still something, even after hrs on You Tube that I still have no idea about) and deal with more teenage dramas.
    Listening to some stories regarding home schooling I can not thank you enough for continuing to encourage my son's learning by providing him with work to complete . I never thought he would admit this. but he is looking forward to getting back to school.
    I hope that over the next few weeks you all manage to get some time to relax and spend time with your families.
    Thank you for everything you have done and will continue to do in the months to come. Stay safe.

  • We are writing to all of you to extend our sincerest gratitude. Our daughter has gained a lot of fruitful learning experiences and memories during her stay at NK for the past years. From all her teachers in Year 8 up to this date in Year 11, a Massive THANK YOU to you all. We will forever be grateful to each and every one of you. This is the school she’s always been part of like a family. We are sure that she will never forget it and you will always be in her heart. Thank you for welcoming her, for teaching her and nurturing her with care, love, support and happiness. Thank you, for giving her so many opportunities to develop her confidence and knowledge. We owe everything she has accomplished to all of you. Again, from the bottom of our hearts, we are immensely thankful for all your hard work.

  • I would like to end this term by expressing my gratitude to yourself and all of your team. I have spoken to a couple of them a few times throughout the whole 'lockdown' period. As a family we feel so supported and really happy with all the processes, daily emails, teaching methods, support that's been offered and available. It's been outstanding, it really has. My son has had a couple of wobbles along the way but it's been quick to rectify with an email and a phone call from school. His head of year is a credit to the school, she's been great with him putting his mind at rest and has been lovely.
    The hard work the school has put in as a whole has certainly helped from our point of view and we have every faith and no concerns in our children returning to school in September. Both children are looking forward to coming back too which is fantastic. Enjoy your summer break and sincerest thanks.

  • Hi, I just wanted to say an enormous thankyou to all the adults in school that have anything to do with my daughter. She's absolutely loving school again, she's full of all the things she's learned, and the praise she's had from staff. This was a tricky transition but she (and you guys) have totally smashed it!  Thanks again.

  • I just wanted to say a big thank you to all the staff at NK Academy for helping my son. I have gone from fighting with a school to try and get the very basic support for his additional needs, and them destroying his self-esteem, to a son who now shows me his school work several times a week, meets all his needs and more (without me even having to ask), and who got three awards in the end of year assembly. I cannot tell you how much this means to us as a family. Just goes to show what a brilliant, nurturing school can achieve.

  • My son has been very positive about school; he has settled really well into Year 10 and definitely enjoys his lessons more now he has taken his options. He often talks about how much he likes many of the staff members and has also found a small group of classmates that he spends time with both in and outside of school. I am so pleased with the progress he has made, he has grown so much since he started at NK and while he has worked extremely hard I don’t think he could have done this without the support of the staff. I am immensely proud of him and so incredibly grateful to the staff at NK for taking the time to understand him and support him through his academic journey. Thank you so much!

  • I would also like to thank all staff at NK for all their efforts through out ‘lock down’. Communication has been consistent, pertinent and informative. The work set has been achievable for my daughter and she has had regular feedback from the majority of her teachers. They have also answered emails promptly. You have made schooling from home as hassle free as able and for that we are grateful. We hope you all have a restful summer.
