An independent school in Rutland is staging an open day to show prospective pupils and their parents what life is like at the school.
Brooke Priory School was founded in 1989 in the grounds of Brooke Priory off Station Approach, Oakham.
Initially founded by Mrs Susan Allen and her daughter, Elizabeth Bell, the school opened with just 27 pupils.
Last September, Duncan Flint took over as Headmaster and the school continues to flourish and grow under his expert leadership.

Admissions and marketing manager Karen King told Nub News: "The breadth and enrichment provided at Brooke Priory has given rise to notable sporting and musical achievements, drama productions and academic awards. All of the children at Brooke Priory receive an outstanding education."
