In June, we revealed that student Ryan had won a national competition to design a mascot for Sign2Sing (read the story here).
On 12 January we were visited by the Sign2Sing mascot and Ryan was presented with his award. The visit also involved some signing in assembly.

We hope you have all had a lovely Christmas.
Welcome back to the Spring Term where there’s lots of exciting things planned – including a visit from the Sign2Sing mascot Kampala (designed by a former student), the annual ski trip and a number of charity events.
We’re excited to announce that The Three Rivers Learning Trust brand has had a transformation to give it a more modern feel. Over the coming months you’ll see this logo replace the existing one on letterheads and other documentation.
There will also be a new website, containing all of the information about the Trust and the schools who are part of it.
Here are our results for the ‘Fancy Feet Whirly Wheels’ challenge run by Schools Go Smarter, a National organisation that helps children understand the benefits of travelling sustainably as an enjoyable part of school life.
At the moment we are second on the leadership board for Northumberland.

The Writer’s Club met for the first time on 4 May. The Club provides an informal forum for our pupils to find their creative ‘voice,’ have fun with words, and enjoy the freedom and autonomy to express their ideas in whatever form they choose.
The Writer’s Club has provided an environment which from the beginning has promoted independence. I have encouraged pupils to take a ‘leap of faith’, trust their own judgements, share ideas and offer advice to each other. The resulting work has drawn on an eclectic range of subjects, which have been humorous, thought-provoking and at times emotional.
We hope you enjoy the ‘Talking Heads’ performances on our website and invite you to read additional examples of the fabulous work produced over the last nine weeks.
