RESULTS DAY
10th & 12th August 2021 (A level & GCSE)

As Ockbrook School has now closed, we are no longer in a position to allow students and parents to come to the Birtill Hall on the results days. This is for a number of reasons which include staffing, health and safety, and insurance cover, among others. Instead, the results will be posted to the students by letter, and emailed to the student’s school email account. The email accounts will be reactivated by the end of this week. Unfortunately, we cannot send results to private email addresses.

Found these photos from many years ago when I was Director of Music at Ockbrook School. We hooked up with a music school in Moscow and had a great Music & Art trip. Middle of Winter and I think it was 2012. How the world has changed. Ockbrook School is no more - shut down and of course we all know what’s going on with Russia and the Ukraine. The kindness shown to us back then by the Russians was so friendly and welcoming. Also got to see Lera Valeria Korotina and her daughter. We hosted Lera as a high school exchange student when we lived in the USA in Washington DC. Lera is amazing. All the girls on the trip were amazing and Russia (it was my second trip there) was amazing as well. As I am from Ukrainian heritage I find the current situation (as I am sure many of you do) unreal. I was hoping to go to the Ukraine in the not to distant future as it was on my bucket list. I’ve captioned the pictures as best as I can but welcome any of the girls (who are in their 20’s now) to please correct me or fill in any blanks I have left out and please share your pictures as well. Let’s all hope the world can return to these happier days soon. #ockbrookschool ... See MoreSee Less

With immense sadness and heavy hearts, we have to share with you the sad loss of our dear friend and colleague Mrs Pat Ward, who died peacefully at home on Christmas Eve, following a short illness.
We are still coming to terms with this ourselves, but we know what an incredible teacher and iconic figure she was to the pupils, parents and community at Ockbrook School.
Pat loved Ockbrook School. She loved all of the pupils in her care and made a huge impact to their education and confidence, shaping the path to their future lives. We will miss her infectious sense of fun, immaculate presentation and ability to know just what each child, parent and colleague needed to help them, at any given moment. She carried out her role with the utmost fairness and immense kindness, which combined to make her a perfect teacher. We were also incredibly lucky to know her, as a cherished friend.
We are respecting her family's wish to come to terms with their tragic loss in peace. In time, we hope that any messages of condolence and memories of Mrs Ward shared will bring them some comfort. ... See MoreSee Less

There are not enough words to describe the dedication, passion and love that Pat had for Ockbrook and every pupil within it. It was a privilege to work alongside her, to learn from her and most importantly laugh with her. I will miss you dearly Pat and every time I hear a tambourine or someone says whirlpool, I will smile, laugh and think of you 💔

I’m so terribly saddened to hear this awful news. Mrs Ward was a wonderful teacher at Greasley Beauvale Junior School prior to going to Ockbrook. I have many fond memories of her kindness and encouragement during my time as a pupil at Greasley and she was very highly regarded by my Dad - Mr Wooding - headmaster of the school at that time. She was a truly lovely, genuine and caring person who helped so many people. RIP, Mrs Ward x

Mrs Ward was my teacher in year 3 at Greasley Beauvale around 1973! After my first day, my mum asked me what I thought about my new class. My reply was that I loved my new teacher because she wore red lipstick, nice clothes, high heels and she smelled nice! Mrs Ward inspired me to go into the teaching profession myself. She was an excellent role model! I taught primary for 32 years and we linked up eventually again through Facebook. We often exchanged stories because I taught for a while at Redhill Primary in Ockbrook. She will be greatly missed by many and she has certainly sown many good seeds into so many lives. Sincere condolences to her family. A strong, glamorous, kind, generous and positive woman. Greatly loved and cherished. A life well lived, Mrs Ward!

This is very sad news. I have extremely fond memories of Mrs Ward at Greasley Beauvale. Particularly going camping with her, Mr Kay and Mr Young to Robin Hoods Bay. She was such fun, so glamorous and such an inspiring teacher. I really think my time at that school set me up for life and academia. Rip. X

I had the privilege of being taught by Mrs Ward almost 10 years ago. She found a way to make everything she did interesting and fun for us and nothing was ever too much for her, making me the person who I am today. One of Ocbrook’s finest, she’ll undoubtedly be sorely missed.

Such sad news to wake up to . Our three loved Mrs Ward, as did we . She gave my eldest the confidence she needed in year 6, ready to go up to seniors and also me the confidence to let her go ! She knew each child individually and had amazing skills that she would adapt to each one . A truly special teacher that summed up Ockbrook school . Always in our hearts and memories. Sending love to all of her family and friends at this truly sad time x

A wonderful lady. So grateful our oldest was able to have been taught by Mrs Ward. She loved her. For me, the wisdom gained from teaching through the years shone through to reassure parents and children alike. Mrs Ward just ‘knew’. She knew everything! Plus, wasn’t she just the most beautiful, stylish and glamorous lady? It was so lovely to see her at Ockbrook’s final day. Again there supporting children, staff and families alike. A momentous loss to our world, the education system but mostly to her family and friends. Sending much love to them at this time.
