Dear Parents, Carers and Families,
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we come to the end of what has been a truly transformative year for Nancealverne School, we want to take a moment to reflect and celebrate everything our incredible school community has achieved together.
This year marked some major milestones. The opening of Cury School with its dedicated and passionate new team of staff has extended our vision and provision in exciting new ways. Closer to home, the launch of our Nancealverne Upper Site has been a resounding success—thanks in no small part to the amazing attitude and commitment of our Post-14 learners, who have embraced every opportunity and made it a thriving and dynamic environment.
We also welcomed a record number of new families into our school community through our expanded EYFS provision. Your support, positivity, and trust have made such a difference as we continue to grow and evolve.
Throughout the year, we’ve shared so many joyful moments at school events—from our lively VE Day party and festive Christmas Fair to the buzzing Summer Fair and emotional Leavers Events. Each of these occasions has been a celebration of our school spirit and togetherness.
Our enrichment programme has gone from strength to strength, with highlights including a memorable trip to London and the continued success of the Duke of Edinburgh Awards. The generosity and involvement of our wider community have also played a huge role, with regular support from the Leisure Centre, Tennis Club, Cricket Club, and Gymnastics Club, all helping to enrich our pupils’ experiences.
We’ve also been proud to continue offering a wide range of therapeutic opportunities—including horse riding, trampolining, music therapy, and Zumba—ensuring every learner can thrive in their own way, all while staying true to our core curriculum and values.
And in a year full of highlights, one truly special moment was our Outstanding Ofsted Inspection—recognition of everything we strive for every day. As the report so perfectly put it: “Pupils flourish and shine at Nancealverne School.”
None of this would be possible without our extraordinary staff teams, whose dedication, creativity, and compassion shine through in all they do. And of course, to our pupils—you are the reason we do what we do, and we could not be prouder of you.
Thank you to every member of our community for your support this year. We wish you a wonderful summer—rest, recharge, and we look forward to welcoming you all back in September for another fantastic year.
Warmest wishes,
Ruth, Pippa, Jodie and the Nancealverne School Team
