A Quick Look Back...

As the summer holidays seem to be whizzing by, our focus is now turning to getting everything ready for the children joining us in September, as well as welcoming back our current Kindergarten and primary-aged children.

Before we dive into the new school year, we want to take a moment to celebrate the incredible work our students produced last year. Their dedication and creativity were truly inspiring, and we are immensely proud of what they achieved.

Using traditional methods of measuring and building, our children constructed some superb structures that showcased not only their skills but also their ability to work together and think critically. Their efforts were nothing short of amazing, and these projects stand as a testament to their hard work and the supportive learning environment we cultivate here at The Iona School.

We look forward to more fantastic achievements in the year ahead!

A day of celebration! Congratulations to our Iona Alumni who have picked up their A Level results today. We are proud to hear of your achievements.

Here’s one of our previous students collecting his 3 A stars and an A. Officially the highest grades in his current school. Fantastic work!

We would love to hear more of your results.

Add your voice...

You may have seen that we have shared two stories recently on social media about students who have been a part of Iona and their journey.

These have had a great reaction and we would love to share more. We invite our fabulous community to share your stories, memories and thoughts with us.

Please respond to this post and we will be in touch or email your story and any photos you are happy to share to [email protected]

Iona School Takes to the Park! 🍃

Last week, a few of our dedicated teachers made their way to 'Lark In The Park' to set up an engaging interactive stall for the children.

It was a fantastic day under the sun! ☀️

It has been a fantastic week for The Iona School as our fundraising is going well and we have been on Notts TV, East Midlands Today and on the BBC website raising awareness of our plight. Thank you to everyone involved and we are off to a great start.

Please can you help us to get this going further by sharing this post to keep our fundraising going - https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/save-the-iona-school
