Dear Parent/Carer 

Firstly, we would like to offer a warm welcome to you and your child to the NOA community. We are delighted that your child will join us in September and look forward to building on existing relationships with families and children, as well as getting to know those of you who are new to us. We are excited to work with you and your child both now and in the future.

At NOA, we recognise that transition can be an anxious time for some students and we want to reassure you that we aim to minimise any anxiety so that your child feels excited and confident to join us.

We are in communication with feeder primary schools about transition and have been discussing plans to support your child. Communication is incredibly important: over the summer term, we will make contact with every family to discuss your child’s needs and how best we can support them.

Warm Regards,

Mr Hurst - Year 7 SLT Lead 2023-2024
