Work is now well underway on the new, permanent Outwood Academy Riverside school building, which was marked by an official groundbreaking ceremony on 1 October 2025. This milestone is a significant step forward in providing a top-quality educational environment for students and staff who have long awaited a permanent site.

Year 11 students from Outwood Academy Foxhills gained a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the engineering, technology, and career opportunities at British Steel's Scunthorpe site on National Manufacturing Day, helping them to envision their future success.

The Outwood Institute of Education (OIE) has launched its flagship leadership development opportunity: the High Potential Leadership Programme. The 18-month programme complements existing leadership development opportunities available to Outwood staff through the OIE, including the National Professional Qualifications (NPQs).

The Outwood Family of Schools and the High Performance Foundation have announced a new partnership to support and enhance the personal development curriculum for students across Outwood Grange Academies Trust (OGAT). This collaboration will integrate the foundation’s Game Plan school resources into OGAT's new suite of personal development curriculum provision, empowering young people to build crucial life skills.
