On Thursday evening, sixteen very excited students from Chantry, Newminster and The King Edward VI, who’ve been studying six specially selected books since October, were rewarded by meeting the authors at last and getting their books signed.
These students have been shadowing the North East Teen Book Awards and were attending the awards ceremony at The Centre for Life in Newcastle.
Many thanks to all who attended the recent ski trip information evening in Chantry School hall on January 21st.
It was extremely nice to see so many attend and hopefully 
you found the information very useful.
The excitement among our Year 7 skiers is now certainly beginning to gather momentum in anticipation for what will surely be a fantastic experience for the students involved.
All of the information which was presented during the information evening, including some ‘Fit To Ski’ exercises can now be found on our new ski trip website.
Also remember to follow us on Twitter @newminstermid as there will be regular updates throughout the trip – internet access permitting.
The theme of our Enterprise Day this year is ‘My teacher is a vampire’.
On Friday 6th February, students will have the opportunity to work in vertical house groups with year five, six, seven and eight working in teams to tackle the challenge of marketing and designing books.
The activity is being run in collaboration with Northumberland education business partnership and local Business ambassadors who will help run the session.
The Board of Directors have now completed annual reports for the Audit, Education, Finance and Facilities and Board Committees for the last academic year.
These reports outline the work completed by the Directors in the last year and can be viewed here.
On the 30th January Year 8 Pupils from Chantry and Newminster enjoyed a sunny day out at Baltic, Gateshead as part of their Bronze Arts Award studies.
They ‘participated as an audience’ and explored the colourful works of Jesse Wine and Graeme Durant.
Well done to our Girls U11s football team who were representing our Area in the County 7-a-side tournament this Saturday.
They played with fantastic commitment and determination despite the freezing winds and finished with a very respectable 2 wins and 2 losses.
The whole of year 8 visited Newcastle University on Tuesday 20 January to take part in a discovery day as part of their careers programme of study.
We had a fantastic day and took part in sessions such as 24 hours in A & E. This saw us all making important decisions about who to treat and in what order to treat them, as well as deciding what treatment to give our patients. What made it more fascinating was each of the patient scenarios we were given were real life cases and we got to find out the outcome of each case too.
On Friday 16th January a group of Year 7 and 8 girls were invited to attend the largest tech event for girls in the UK. It was hosted by Accenture and Stemettes at the Sage Gateshead. The aim of the day was to raise the profile of STEM subjects, in particular computing, with girls in the North East of England.
The event organisers recognise that the North East is becoming renowned for its thriving technology industry. They hope to continue this growth by inspiring the next generation of students and raise the profile of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths subjects and careers.
