Dear Parents/Carers, I hope you enjoyed the Easter Break. We have returned to school with continued determination to ensure that our students achieve the very best results in the Summer which will open doors for their future and give them the best opportunities for their choice of further education or work when they leave us. Revision sessions held during the Easter Break were very well attended and I would like to thank staff, students and parents for their support.

Governor Reading Programme Our governors are supporting reading at Neville Lovett School by reading with Y7s on a Friday. Today was the first session and I would like to share some feedback with you. Mrs Hoggarth, Head of Student Support Services Student A Y7 – “It was really fun reading today and I think it will help my reading even more”. Janet Bell Governor – “Student A read confidently, she chose to read alone and kept going even with difficult words”. Student B Y7 – “It was fine reading today, it was good”. Lucille Pendry Governor – “I really enjoyed the reading session, student B worked on using his voice for emphasis paying attention to punctuation. We are going to work on isn’t and hasn’t and he has agreed to go on the DS a little less at home and try to read more”. Both Governors are coming in earlier next week to look at the Rapid Reading programme before their reading sessions begin.
