Staff and pupils celebrated 50 years of a very special school by hosting a garden fair.
Held in the Nunthorpe Academy grounds on Saturday, the day included a variety of stalls, food and drink, with local produce on offer, entertainment and lots of other fun activities for all the family.
Since opening its doors in September 1963 the school has regularly seen generations of the same families pass through its doors.
Among its alumni are Boro and ex-England footballer Jonathan Woodgate, Bollywood actress Preeti Desai, Olympic athlete Chris Tomlinson, and TV presenter Kirsten O’Brien.
Five decades later the school might stand on the same site in the same building but the academy has seen many changes including a 6.3m addition opening in 2008 and converting to academy status in 2012.
Last year the academy attracted visits from Minister of State for Schools David Laws and Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove.
