    Headmaster’s Letter

  • GCSE/A Level Exam Certificates

    Reminder!
    GCSE and A Level exam certificates for examinations taken in June 2025 are ready for collection from the main school reception.
    If you are unable to collect your certificates in person and would like to nominate someone to collect them on your behalf, please complete the ‘Exam Certificate Collection Form’ below. All nominated individuals must provide photographic ID (unless certificates are being collected by a sibling currently in school) and all certificates must be signed for; in the absence of a candidate’s permission we cannot release certificates.

  • School Skirts

    From 24th February 2025, pupils choosing to wear a skirt must only wear the NTS skirt supplied by Gladrags (Wigton) or BE Uniform (Carlisle) retailing at £23.50. No other skirts are permitted. Pupils can continue to wear trousers and should not feel obliged to buy a skirt.

    If you would like to donate any pre-loved uniform or PE/Games kit to the Nelson Thomlinson School it would be gratefully received.

  • Equipment for Learning (E4L)

    Equipment for Learning (E4L)

    1. Blue/black pen (used for most writing exercises)
    2. Green pen (mainly for amending/self-correcting work)
    3. Red pen (mainly for peer assessment)
    4. Pencil
    5. Sharpener
    6. Eraser
    7. Ruler
    8. Calculator (Casio fx-83GTX)
    9. Glue stick
    10. Round-ended scissors (NOT point-ended)*
    11. Highlighter pens
    12. Full PE/Games kit for lessons

    *Please do not purchase point-ended scissors as these are a safety hazard and will be confiscated.

    These items should be available for all classes. Most are available from the Mathematics Office at extremely competitive prices. In particular, Casio scientific calculators are available. Calculators will be useful in several lessons, not just in Mathematics, and we recommend that all pupils possess, and gain familiarity with, a Casio fx-83GTX.

    It would be helpful if they also had colouring pencils, a protractor and a pair of compasses but these items are not essential. Liquid paper is not allowed in school. Pupils are responsible for all their personal equipment and every item should be clearly marked.
