Parents and councillors have said they are very concerned about the stability of a Bulwell school after its headteacher stepped down. Sara Wildes left her post as principal at Bulwell Academy at the end of October, a mere six months after joining.
In a letter to parents, she explained it was the "right time to move on". However, as concerns with pupil behaviour continue to loom over the Creative Education Trust-run academy, the Bulwell community has more questions than answers.
Some parents have labelled the situation a mess, whilst a councillor said their offering of support fell on deaf ears. Bulwell Academy, which has since recruited interim head Sam Williamson and Ellis Guilford principal Chris Keen as executive principal, said it was confident significant progress was already being made.
