You can now view the weekly pupil-parent bulletin online under the Parents menu.
Friday 13 March saw the beginning of British Science Week and we had lots of activities happening for all of the students.
Each year group had different activities – from electronics workshops, creep crawly visitors, cake decorating and lots more.
Last week, we took on the challenge of an open air dance to raise money for Comic Relief.
Thankfully the weather was in our favour and 525 students and over 40 staff took part in the performance on the school yard – dancing to Shakira’s ‘It’s Time For Africa’.
Check out the photo gallery.
Some of our Year 7 students are off to Alpe d’Huez, France this week.

ood luck to all the Steel Pan groups who are performing in the Wansbeck Music Festival on Wednesday 18th March.
This takes place at The King Edward VI School in the Lower School Hall at 5pm.
There is a small charge by the Wansbeck Festival at the door for anyone who would like to go along and support them.
Find out more about the Wansbeck Music Festival on their website.
We collected a superb £278.06 to support the work of Book Aid International in getting books to children in parts of the world that have none. Thank you for supporting this worthwhile charity.
Students were invited to celebrate World Book Day by dressing up as a character from a book. There were so many excellent costumes, it was quite difficult to choose the winners. In the end, a record seventeen students each won a novel and all the rest earned five class points each!
Mr Stink and his dog (alias Dominic Marshall) and The Iron Man (James Mullen, we believe) each won an additional book prize of their choice for the most effort put into a costume. Well done boys!
Enormous thanks to Aimee Reid and Bethany Matthews in Year 6 for patiently naming every one of 1,015 World Book Day tokens so everyone in each school could be sure of getting one. You are heroines, girls!
Thanks to your tremendous support and generosity, our annual Book Fair was a record breaking success:
- 30% more children used their World Book Day £1 discount vouchers when buying books
- orders were up by 77%
- book sales exceeded sales of stationery
- and the magnificent total of £1,873.56 is our highest yet!
This year, Fair takings have raised £1,124 in commission, which will be spent, as usual, on books to stimulate literacy and a love of reading throughout school.
