Our students
Our students each have their own story to tell. In these short videos, Olivia, Logan and Alex share their experiences of joining Retford Oaks – from the excitement (and nerves!) of starting year 7, to the friendships they’ve built, the subjects they’ve discovered and the support that’s helped them settle in and thrive during their first year of secondary school.
