    If you have any of these items available, or know someone who may, we would be extremely grateful. All donations help us create exciting, hands-on outdoor learning experiences for our children to explore, build, investigate and imagine.

  • PTA!

    Published 12/02/26

    We’re delighted to share that we will be setting up a Parent–Teacher Association (PTA) — and we would love for parents and carers to get involved! ๐ŸŽ‰

    The PTA’s aim is simple: to support the school, raise funds for resources and experiences that benefit our children, and bring families together. From film nights ๐ŸŽฌ and bake sales ๐Ÿง to fun community events ๐ŸŽˆ, the PTA will help us build a strong, connected school community.

    You don’t need lots of time or any special skills — all help is welcome, and we’d love to meet you and hear your ideas!

    Whether you can spare a few minutes, lend a hand at an event, share suggestions, or simply stay in the loop, it all makes a difference โค๏ธ

    PROUD POST ๐Ÿ’ฏโœจ๐ŸŽ‰

    We received a letter from the Secretary of State for Education celebrating the amazing outcomes achieved by our disadvantaged pupils in the 2024/2025 academic year!

    "Congratulations to you and your team on the excellent outcomes the disadvantaged pupils at Bilsthorpe Flying High Academy achieved at the end of the 2024/25 academic year. Your school’s performance places it among the very best nationally, and this is a significant achievement.

    This success reflects the dedication of your staff and the hard work of your pupils. It shows what can be achieved when ambition and commitment come together. Thank you for everything you do to give children the best possible opportunities to succeed.

We encourage you to lead the way as a system leader - sharing effective practice, championing networks, supporting collaboration, and helping raise standards across the sector.

    Please pass on my thanks and congratulations to your staff and pupils. I look forward to working with you as we strive together to raise standards for all".
