Students

What do I do if we are on holiday when the A level results come out?

We strongly advise all students to ensure they are not on holiday for results, especially for A2 results as they will need to respond to university offers/declines. However, if it is unavoidable a student should phone us at the Sixth Form at 10am on results day (19th August 2010) on 01642 304550. Alternatively if the student wants to leave his/her mobile number we can text through results if we are given advanced warning. The important thing is to ensure the Yr 13 student has access to the internet on the day of the results. The universities actually receive the results a week before us, and UCAS will send emails to students regarding the confirmation of places that morning. Students will have to reply to confirm they are taking up a place.

    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.
