OBE for Sharon
24 June 2015
Our congratulations go to alumna Sharon Gray (BEd Hons Education 1991) who receives an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours.
Sharon Gray is the Head Teacher of Netherfield Primary School. Her OBE follows a Pride of Britain award for turning around the school which was previously failing.
She said: "I am very proud of the achievements at Netherfield, but it has been a team effort with the staff and pupils all playing their part. I will be sharing my celebrations with them.”
As well as her work at Netherfield, Sharon was chosen last year to offer advice and guidance to schools facing more challenging circumstances after being chosen as one of 144 heads as a National Leader of Education, which has seen her temporarily take the helm at schools like Robin Hood Primary and Nursery School in Mansfield Woodhouse.
