Aleksandra Lubas

Aleksandra joined the academy in Year 9, having just arrived from Poland and went on to achieve an amazing 14 A*-C grades at GCSE including A*s in Photography, Geography and Polish as well as Distinctions in BTEC Science and Art. When she first joined the NBA community she spoke very little English, was shy and found the culture change challenging at times.  Her fantastic attitude towards learning, combined with the excellent support she received from specialist academy staff, meant that she integrated into mainstream lessons quickly and made outstanding progress from the start. With a perfect behaviour record and 100% attendance Aleksandra is a role model for fellow students and an asset to our academy community. She is now studying A levels in Art and Media at NBA and continues to flourish academically and socially.
