๐ NHA Family Fun Day ๐
What an incredible day celebrating our amazing school community! ๐
From high-energy parkour sessions to unforgettable encounters with exotic animals from @livingthingsuk, there was something to inspire every learner ๐พ
Our Scandinavian feast, linked to our Beowulf topic, brought learning to life โ combining culture, creativity and (very tasty!) food ๐ธ๐ช๐ฅ
Families had the chance to explore classrooms, share in pupilsโ work and see first-hand the fantastic progress being made every day. The pride, confidence and joy across the school was clear to see โจ
At NHA, these moments matter โ building relationships, celebrating success and creating meaningful experiences that support both personal and academic development.
Thank you to all families, staff and pupils who made the day so special! ๐

โจ Hereโs to the end of a brilliant Autumn Term at Northern House Academy! ๐
Today we came together for our Celebration Assembly - a joyful moment to reflect on the progress, effort and achievements of our pupils this term. Itโs been a season packed with memorable moments: from the pantomime trip, to the Bauble House creative event, and our festive Christmas dinner, every experience has been rooted in Positivity, Happiness, and Nurture.
A huge thank you to @stedwardsoxford for welcoming us into the Olivier Hall today and for our Christmas Dinner! Your hospitality and support always add something really special to our celebrations.
To all our pupils, families and staff: thank you for your continued energy, care, and commitment.
Rest well, and weโll see you in January for what promises to be a fantastic Spring Term.

A throw back to the last day of term!
Our Halloween party was a frightful delight! From the monster disco to fruit and veg bobbing madness, spooky snacks, face painting, and class trick-or-treating - every moment was packed with Halloween magic! ๐ธ๏ธ๐ชฉ๐ฌ๐จ๐
Costumes were fang-tastic - creepy, creative, and completely unique. Our students and staff brought their spooky A-game, and it showed! ๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธ๐งโโ๏ธโจ
It was the perfect way to end the half term - full of fun, laughter, and happy energy.
Thank you to everyone who helped make the last day so memorable! ๐๐ถ

๐ค Inside NHA - Day 3: Working with Parents ๐๐
Strong partnerships with families are at the core of everything we do at Northern House Academy.
Todayโs short film celebrates the trust, teamwork and shared journey that unite our families and staff.
Many of our families have travelled a long road to find the right setting for their child - a place where they are understood, supported, and seen for who they are.
At NHA, that journey continues together.
Our relationships with families are built on communication, consistency, and care. We work side by side with parents and carers to celebrate every success, overcome challenges, and create a sense of belonging that extends well beyond the school gates.
A huge thank you to the parents who took part in this film and so generously shared their voices and experiences. Your partnership, honesty, and trust mean the world to us ๐

๐ค Inside NHA - Day 2: Pupil Voice ๐๐
Todayโs short film focuses on something at the very heart of Northern House Academy - pupil voice.
At NHA, pupil voice isnโt just about speaking out; itโs about being heard, understood, and empowered every single day.
It lives through our routines, our relationships, and our Positive Support Plans (PSPs) - bespoke plans that pupils co-create with staff to help everyone understand what helps them thrive.
Our approach means every pupil is:
๐ Seen as an individual
๐ซถ Supported to share their needs and strengths
๐ฌ Encouraged to shape their own learning and emotional regulation
๐ Valued as an active contributor to school life
๐ช Empowered to inform the support that adults provide to them
This film captures how pupil voice is woven into the culture of NHA, not just through words, but through action, trust, and connection.
