Current students acted as ambassadors for the open evening, showing visitors around and giving them an insight into their own experiences.

Somercotes Academy has undergone a major transformation since it joined the trust in 2015.

The school has been refurbished from top to bottom, with the addition of new facilities.

The academy’s new principal, Frances Green, a former Tollbar Academy teacher, said she was delighted to see so many parents and prospective students at the open evening.
