Friday 20 December 2024 Goodbye Mrs Guest Today wasn't just a fun day to celebrate Christmas with our pupils at the end of term, it was also a very special day to celebrate the wonderful Mrs Guest, who is leaving us after 20 years of supporting the children, families and staff at Mount Nod. Mrs Guest has been a familiar face at the school gates each day, welcoming the children in to school and has been a huge part of life at Mount Nod. She has nurtured and supported countless children on their journey through our school and our pupils gave her a lovely send off today in our assembly for her. We will all miss her very much and am sure that you join us in wishing her the very best of luck in this next chapter of her life. Bon voyage and good luck Mrs Guest, from us all at Mount Nod.

Friday 20 December 2024 Carols on the Green We would like to say a huge thank you to family, friends and local residents who supported our Reception and Year 6 children at the Mount Nod 'Carols on the Green' carol concert yesterday evening in aid of Archie's Smile. It was a wonderful evening . The children started on Tudor Avenue and made their way down to the One Stop on Alderminster Road singing songs, dancing and smiling all the way! Aman from the One Stop kindly gave a drink to every child and the One Stop and the Round Table generously donated £200! Added to the collection from family and local residents, the children managed to raise a whopping £338.36 which will go directly to the Archie's Smile charity. Again, we cannot express our thanks enough to you all for making this event such a magical community experience and for really getting everyone into the Christmas spirit!

Friday 27 September 2024 Leave of Absence Forms At Mount Nod School we value the attendance of all pupils. There is a strong relationship between good school attendance and achieving positive outcomes for children. It is recognised that attending school regularly can be a protective factor for children and young people. It is important that as a school we offer a safe environment, positive relationships, high quality teaching and learning opportunities to develop social and emotional skills. Ensuring that children attend school every day will help achieve this ambition by maximising their education and social achievements as well as developing self-discipline, organisation and preparedness for the work environment. Improving attendance and reducing absence, especially persistent absence is a priority for our school and Coventry City Council.
