Newark Academy update: Illegal trespass

Information for parents and carers. (Whole School - 30/08/2018)

Around 1.30pm yesterday (29 September), a number of recreational vehicles and caravans entered Newark Academy grounds illegally and have temporarily encamped at the front of our academy building. The police were called immediately informing them of the trespass, as Newark Academy is private property. In addition, we have taken steps to issue an eviction notice via the Sheriff's office and this will be issued today by a team of bailiffs. The occupants of the vehicles have been informed that they are due to move to a secured placement imminently. Students returning to the academy tomorrow in Years 7, 11 and 12 remain unaffected by the intrusion and, as usual, staff will be present to meet and greet our students from 8.00am welcoming them back to our academy after what we hope has been a fantastic summer break.
