Lynn Brown, a Teaching Assistant at Ormston School, has been recognised on a national stage for her outstanding contribution to nature and community engagement – receiving a prestigious Bees’ Needs Champion Award from DEFRA.

On the 8th of May , Easthorpe school came together in a wonderful celebration to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day – a momentous occasion that brought World War II to an end in Europe.

To mark Earth Day 2025, our students took action on climate change. Inspired to make a difference, our Student Council members secured a donated apple tree sapling from a local garden centre and planted it on school grounds.

Hosted by Polaris Community, the event provided attendees with a first look at the ongoing transformation of the former Bryan Wood Care Home into a state-of-the-art, therapeutic learning environment.

Our staff team, led by Headteacher Laura Austin, support children and young people from across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and Derby, and the latest result is a huge achievement for the school which achieved a rating of ‘Outstanding’ in all areas.
