The Department for Education (DfE) is seeking to minimise the burden of track and trace falling on schools over the Christmas period and has suggested that schools
use Friday 18 December as an In Service Training Day to support this aim.
Therefore, all of the schools within The Three Rivers Learning Trust will break up for Christmas for students at the end of the school day on Thursday 17 December.Ā Ā
Please click here for further information.
Music will be heard far and wide on Wednesday 16th December at 7.00 pm through a FREEĀ online concertĀ 
Children and young people from across the region who sing or play an instrumentĀ will unite through musicĀ this December.
Covid-19 restrictions meantĀ thatĀ the usualĀ concert which would be hosted by Music Partnership North, showcasing the broad musical talent of students from acrossĀ NorthumberlandĀ and NewcastleĀ cannot take place for Christmas 2020, but through the determination of Music Partnership North, students, and parents the show will go on, albeit slightly different.Ā Ā

This December students at Newminster Middle School have created Angel sculptures to put around the school and the school grounds. Classes have thought about their hopes for 2021 and these have been attached to each angel.Ā

Charlotte Jones, CurriculumĀ Leader for the Creative Arts at the school said, “Angels are symbols of love, hope and strength and we hope that these will provide some extra Christmas smiles as the children and staff spot the Angels around us.”
