A Nottingham school will shut after the death of a 'long-standing, much-loved and respected' member of staff. Bulwell Academy has sent out a letter to parents and carers - and the school will close on Friday (September 16).
Nottinghamshire Live has seen a copy of the letter, sent out on Monday (August 22), which states the school will not operate on the day of the staff member's funeral.
The letter, signed off by the school principal Sarah Wildes, reads: "I am sad to announce that Darrell Woodward, a long-standing, much loved and respected member of the Academy passed away a few weeks ago - I realise many of you may already know this information being part of such a close-knit local community, but I wanted to ensure all students and thei families were informed.
