The John of Gaunt School is a unique, vibrant and highly successful school. The School has a strong reputation for both academic and pastoral excellence, and it is a great honour to be the Headteacher. Whilst we are first and foremost a place of learning, we strive to ensure that students are academically nurtured and cared for in a safe environment in which they can be happy, grow, gain in confidence and be challenged to achieve in all aspects of school life. Our school provides a learning environment that is rich in encouragement, and enthusiasm along with a belief in every individual. We offer a curriculum and a pastoral system designed to enrich the learning experience of all our students, whatever their ability. Helping our young people develop into confident, sensitive and reflective adults is fundamental. During their time at The John of Gaunt School we will ensure young people meet or exceed their potential, this is achieved though outstanding teaching and careful support for each young person throughout their time with us. We pride ourselves in being a community school. We thrive on strong supportive relationships with parents and carers and believe that students are best educated when parents, students and staff all work in unison. Our strong and growing links with local businesses and community organisations add tremendous value to the development of our young people. We are passionate in our belief that every young person should be encouraged to raise their aspirations and have the opportunity to become accomplished independent learners so that they are able to achieve and be successful in the rapidly changing and competitive adult world. At The John of Gaunt School we believe in regularly celebrating the success of learners, no matter how small the accomplishment. The school offers a wide range of extra-curricular clubs, before school, during lunch times and after school, as well as cultural trips and visits, foreign exchanges and residential trips, we believe these opportunities enrich the lives of our young people and enhance our already thriving curriculum offer. I hope that you find the enclosed information helpful as a means of getting to know us and what it means to be part of The John of Gaunt School. Additionally, I would like to encourage you to come in and visit us at any time as we have a fantastic reputation and are proud of our last excellent Ofsted inspection. We would be delighted to show our school on a normal school day in order for you to sample our open, caring and nurturing ethos. Choosing a school is a very important decision, but I believe our student centred approach, high standards, outstanding teaching and personalised care, will ensure your child has a very successful and enjoyable future.

Hands On Pottery is a small ceramics school based near the centre of Nottingham. The building is light and airy offering Wheelchair access to all three work studios. We have been working with people since 1990 and we encourage everyone to reach their own individual aims and objectives. Confidence is enhanced by our high standards of teaching and working in a comfortable friendly environment. The pottery is all wheel chair friendly with adjustable tables and a loop fitted in the main workshop. As the pottery is all on the ground floor it is easily accessible for all. When working at the pottery you will be encouraged to work individually, on your own chosen designs, which will be finished to a very high standard. The teachers working at the pottery are proud of our reputation, as many students have discovered their creative ability with us through the art of clay. Many students who have never worked with clay before have gained qualifications or found a new creative skill they enjoy. We believe that clay is a wonderful medium to work with and that clay brings out the best in people. The most satisfactory way we can describe our findings is: "It's not what people do to clay, it's what clay does to people" Hands On Pottery offers classes to everybody. We are prepared for you to come to us at the pottery, or for us to come to you in a place of your choice.

Drakaina Arcana

London

Dea’s Passion is in, Guiding others to find their destiny, reminding them of their soul truth and supporting them through their transformation by being their bridge and mirror.    She was born into a Spiritual Community and has been teaching and serving others for over 10 years.   Dea has impacted over 28,000 people through her talks, workshops, 1-2-1’s, Healing Modality and Mythogentics methods. She helps to remind people of their organic truth and soul origin, including their mythological heritage and existential truth.   As a Mystic and Faerie woman, Dea witnesses and supports individual transformation and holds ceremonial space, connecting people to the power of the land. THE DRAGON’S SECRET ‘Drakaina Arcana’ is ancient greek, meaning the “dragonesses secret”. Which, in essence, is what I hold most dear as my lineage-based transformational medicine. Drakaina is a mythological female dragon with equal qualities of humanness and water dragons. DEA’S TEACHINGS What I offer today is carefully selected from many years of self-study, academic research, experiential learning, and psychic questing, with a deeper understanding and practical application of mystery arts,  archetypal mythos, and healing methods. I BELIEVE IN MAGICK Tesla famously said, “If you want to know the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration”. I would go as far as to say if you desire to uncover the mysteries become the frequency and alchemise the energy and vibration to your advantage. Magick is energy in motion guided by imagination.
