Duke of Edinburgh Award Success
Posted 5th June
Congratulations to Daniel, Calum, Asia, Kaymin and Brooke from Senior 3 for successfully completing a two-day expedition on May 1st as part of their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award. The students planned their route and walked in the Stanhope area, where they cooked meals on a stove and set up a tent. Some of the students even camped overnight in the tent, marking a significant achievement for them. Well done to everyone involved, including the staff who provided support!

Fathers Football Afternoon
Posted 23rd May
Earlier in the week we held a Fathers welcome here Football Match. On a really sunny afternoon we welcomed a group of parents into school to take part in a range of Football Activities with their children. The families and students played some games together and we finished the afternoon with a Sunderland vs Newcastle match. We were supported by Thomas from Sunderland Football Club's Football Foundation and Thomas was able to interact with the students and families to celebrate our fully inclusive afternoon of fun, which helped promote our passion for actively working together through one of our favourite sports. The match finished 3-2 to Newcastle with pupil Bradley scoring the winning goal. Well done and thank you to all that attended! See the News & Events section for more details.​
