We’re incredibly proud of Jack, one of our talented year 8 students, who recently placed second in the 2025 Nottinghamshire Schools Golf Competition – an impressive achievement, especially with over 60 competitors taking part!

Jack has been passionate about golf since the age of five and now captains the Nottinghamshire county squad. At just 13 years old, he’s already competing at U18 level – a testament to his skill, dedication, and determination.

Later this month, Jack will be representing Retford Oaks Academy once again as he takes part in the Midlands Regional Schools Tournament. We wish him the very best of luck!

Well done Jack, you’re a fantastic ambassador for the academy, and we can’t wait to see what you achieve next.
