We couldn’t be prouder of Reece, who today received his Courage Award from the Nottingham Rotary Club. A truly special recognition for a truly special young person — his resilience, bravery, and selflessness inspire everyone who has the privilege of knowing him.
Today was about more than just an award; it was a celebration of strength, determination, and the incredible spirit Reece shows every single day. Seeing him recognised in this way was incredibly moving for us all.
It was a wonderful, emotional, and proud day — not just for Reece, but for his beautiful family, who stand beside him every step of the way. ❤️

Today we celebrated National Numeracy Day by showing how maths is everywhere in our community – from baking and cooking to making and planting! 🍰🍴🪴✨
Measuring, counting, sharing, growing… every activity reminded us how maths helps bring people together. This year’s theme, Count on Your Community, came to life in the best way possible!
