Former teachers present included Mr Ellis, Mr Phoenix, Mrs Davies, Mr Bird and Mrs Buxton. Mrs Janet Brashaw, current Headteacher, welcomed everyone to the event which included musical entertainment provided by former pupils who played songs from the five decades the school has been open, as well as an exhibition of photos and memorabilia. There were refreshments on offer including a barbecue in the House Court. Mr Barrie Ellis, who was the first head teacher, returned to the school especially for the celebrations and spoke to a packed hall. He spoke about the changes which have taken place since the 1960s and recalled the first pupil to walk down the school path, who he was reunited with at the anniversary celebrations He paid tribute to the two deputy head teachers who were appointed with him in 1965, Mr Sid Thompson and Mrs Kate Spiers, both of whom have since passed away. He also recalled the two caretakers during his time as Head as well as the first Chair of school governors, Alderman William Foster. Mr Ellis, now 88, told how new buildings were built as the school population grew from 600 to 1500 children in the 1970s and the fight he had with the education department at County Hall who wanted to implement an open plan design which he said he managed to alter. He said ‘I always tried to teach pupils the value of courtesy and respect; and spoke of the schools links with the community Mrs Brashaw presented the former Headteacher with a plaque of the old and new school badges, which Mr Ellis said would have pride of place in his home On Friday 17th July a time capsule was planted at the front Elliott joins the GB Team of the school and on the last day of term there was a mass balloon launch.

  • Prospectus the Suthers School—Prospectus
    Prospectus The Suthers School—Prospectus WELCOME The Suthers School is a brand new, non-selective, 11–18 secondary school which opened in September 2017 and serves the communities of Fernwood, Balderton and Newark-on-Trent. The Suthers School has at its heart the absolute conviction that young people deserve an education that excites and enthuses. Our ‘work hard, be kind’ philosophy, together with our unique approach to character development means that there is something very special about The Suthers School and I am very proud of our growing community. There is no doubt that we are in an enviable position; able to craft a curriculum that meets the needs of our students and provide an extended school day which guarantees access to a wealth of extra- curricular and enrichment opportunities - and because we are developing a brand new school with one new year group at a time, we have a rare opportunity to make sure aspects such as oracy, leadership development and active citizenship are built in rather than bolted on. In short, we aim to deliver a highly academic, inclusive curriculum and to empower the young people of Newark to do more than they ever thought possible I really do hope that you will be able to visit us soon and experience the difference for yourself. “ It is an exceptional Andrew Pettit Head of School school in all aspects.” Parent Voice May 2018 2 The Suthers School—Prospectus ETHOS Our mission Getting the balance right: 51% character, 49% academic To empower our young people to be compassionate, self-respecting, Success in life depends on a combination of character and academic independent thinkers with the academic, social and character skill.

  • CNHW Neighbourhood Development Plan | Introduction 2
    CNHW CNHW Neighbourhood NEIGHBOURHOOD Development Plan DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2016 - 2031 Neighbourhood Plan for the Parishes of Cuckney & Norton, Holbeck & Welbeck Final Version January 2017 CNHW Neighbourhood Development Plan | Introduction 2 Welcome! Welcome to the Cuckney, Norton, Holbeck and Welbeck Neighbourhood Plan. We are fortunate to live, and perhaps work, in an historic, attractive and rural part of North Nottinghamshire, but we do not want our area to freeze in time. Our area needs to progress and develop to remain a vibrant community which is attractive for people to live in, as well as providing employment opportunities and leisure activities. Any development in these areas needs to be done sensitively, in a way chosen by the residents rather than dictated to by others and this plan is the vehicle which allows this to happen. The plan covers two Parishes: Norton & Cuckney and Holbeck & Welbeck. It is almost unique in that within the Plan area there is a single large landowner, The Welbeck Estates Company Limited, with whom we have worked with very closely in the development of the plan. At the same time it is very clear that this is a residents’ plan and not a development plan for Welbeck Estate. Although the Steering Group, pictured below, has led the production of this plan, the ideas and thoughts enclosed have been the result of several and varied consultation exercises over an extensive period of time. We have consulted widely with different groups and ages of people in different locations and by different means in order to reach the conclusions described. We have been very ably supported by members of the Planning Team of Bassetlaw District Council.

    Job Application Pack Job Title: Classroom Learning Assistant Salary: Scale 4, Pt 7-11, £19,554-£21,166 Hours: 34.33 hours per week, term time only Contract Details: Permanent Closing Date: Friday 21st June 9am. Letter from the Head of School Dear Candidate Thank you for expressing an interest in a vacancy here at Meden School, on behalf of the whole community I extend you a very warm welcome. As Head of School my priorities are: excellent examination outcomes, impeccable behaviour, great teaching and the widest possible range of extra-curricular experiences for all students. With a clear focus and lots of hard work, these things are all achievable and will deliver what I think most parents want – happy children who leave school well-equipped to cope with the world outside and with a range of options open to them. There has never been a more exciting time to be a part of Meden staff. We are currently setting out a new vision and mission for the school as we aim to move from Good to Outstanding. The educational landscape is changing beyond recognition and this provides us with new challenges. However, these challenges can be met, and staff and students alike can thrive if we hold at the core of our work the belief that every child can succeed. Everything we do is in service of the children who have trusted their future’s to us. This is a big responsibility and one that I know we all take very seriously. I am absolutely certain that standards at Meden can be driven ever higher through high expectations, excellent teaching and a pastoral system that provides our students with the support and challenge they need.
