Our Year 8 girls had a great start to the Gateshead Schools Netball League this week. They demonstrated an outstanding attitude and effort in both of their fixtures. This was their first time playing as a team and their commitment to the game and their teammates was exceptional.

Every day we are proud to support Show Racism the Red Card as we promote a culture of respect and equality across our school, and today we collectively wore red to showcase our commitment to sharing a school community where everyone belongs.

Language & Power; studied recently by our Year 9 students, explores how language is used to influence people, establish authority, challenge inequality & shape the way we think. Well done to those students who were selected to receive a reward for their amazing work.

Here is a great FREE family event taking place this half term. Book your tickets directly on the @gateshead council website.

Our Year 9 students have been working hard in History, developing their knowledge of WWI (1914–1918). They have submitted some brilliant homework examples of propaganda posters that were used at the time to influence opinion and encourage recruitment to support the war effort.
