Are you a former pupil or a former member of staff of Ockbrook School?

The site is now the forever home of Over The Wall Camp – a UK based charity for children with serious illness and disabilities, and their families, to discover a world of mischief and magic. A place where they can be brave and have fun with others. These amazing places are physical – in residential camps and also available online – with Camp in the Cloudand what’s more, it’s all free!

Camp officials want to hear from former pupils and staff who are willing to share their memories of their school days.  Stories and photographs will form an important part of a heritage exhibition which will be a permanent on-site presence at the site in Ockbrook.  There also a wish to keep in touch with you about how the school site is being developed over the next few years, ready to welcome children and young people with long-term health conditions to the camps.

Visit their website for more information at www.otw.org.uk/alumni.
