Weekly Parent BulletinWEEK OF 9 DECEMBER (WEEK B)

Dear Parents and Carers, 

It has been another fast paced week at Nottingham Free School. Thanks to all the Year 11 parents and carers that attended the Year 11 Parent-Teacher Meetings on Thursday afternoon/evening. We hope the feedback from teachers was useful. With only one school week left until the Christmas break, the end of Term 1 is in sight for our students. We have lots of lovely things happening in school next week, with some detailed in our notices below. 

We hope you have a peaceful weekend and the following notices are helpful. 

Very best wishes,

Joel Tomasevic - Senior Leader for Communications and Parent Involvement
