“The Nottinghamshire Good Practice Festival Fortnight is to show the whole of Nottinghamshire the excellent work happening in Nottinghamshire Schools. The Event began recently with a conference at Center Parcs, Sherwood Forest. The guest speaker was Sir John Jones, who addressed the conference. Displays of success and workshops took place throughout the day. Tuxford School shared its success with displays of Good Practice and Art Work.

Guests were entertained during the day by Nottinghamshire Education County Performers, one being the “Red Hot Band” which Philip and Sam Jerromes, (two Tuxford School students) are members of.”

For their dedication and commitment to the “Wednesday Reading Club”

In April, the girls who attend the Wednesday reading club, watched a South Bank Show, special documentary, about Jacqueline Wilson, the children's author responsible for books such as The Story of Tracy Beaker and Diamond Girls.

The girls were inspired to write letters to Jacquline, telling her how much they had liked the documentary. Mrs King also wrote a letter to accompany the girls' letters. She asked Jacqueline if she would come and open the new school library. Last week Mrs King and the girls received a post card from Jacqueline. She thanked us for the letters and said that unfortunately she was fully booked up in February/March 2007.
