Everyone at Nottingham University Samworth Academy is deeply saddened by the passing of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with the Royal Family and we join the nation in mourning her loss. Rest In Peace, Your Majesty.

Making sure our new starters with no English have a voice and are welcomed by having some survival phrases in their #homelanguages along with visuals to help them express their needs and feelings in the classroom. #alllanguagesmatter #multilingual #eal #esl #translanguaging

Look at my year 8 pupils making a range of card constructions from nets. They’re practicing their construction skills for our new chocolate box project. They even made a popcorn packaging box and (and thanks to the marvellous Ms Smeeth) even went home with real popcorn inside!!!
