It is with immense sadness that we have learnt of the passing of Her Majesty the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth II gave a lifetime of unwavering service and dedication to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, and her presence will be deeply missed.

Our sincere condolences go to the Royal Family at this time. On behalf of everyone at Retford Oaks Academy and Diverse Academy Trust, we thank Her Majesty for her support, dedication and the stability she brought to us all.

During the period of national mourning, we will be keeping to our normal routines for our children and young people, as well as providing support and moments for reflection.

As we will take this opportunity to carry out acts of remembrance and pay our respects, we may limit some of our usual communications and sharing of news.

However if you have any concerns or questions at this time please contact us.
