Enterprise Day 2018

12th February 2018Mrs K Shutler

This year, our annual Enterprise Day took place on Friday 26th January. The day was delivered in collaboration with Northumberland Education Business Partnership and was supported by 23 Business Ambassadors from a range of different sectors.

Our theme was ‘School’s Cool’, which involved the students developing a range of employability and enterprise skills over the course of the day.  

The challenge of the day was to design, build and promote their ‘ideal school’. The students were given a free reign to come up with a brand, design uniform and to consider their own school rules!

Creativity and Co-operation (both 2 of our 9 Core Values) were central to the success of the task.

Government Consultation on Sex and Relationship Education

15th January 2018Mrs K Shutler

Parents, teachers and students have been given the opportunity to help shape the new Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) curriculum.

In 2017, legislation was passed by Parliament to make relationships education compulsory in all primary schools and sex and relationship education compulsory in all secondary schools. The curriculum for the subject is also being updated.

The guidance for this change can be found here.
