Please come wearing pink and we are asking for a £1 contribution – all proceeds that we raise will go to Breast Cancer Support.
We are excited to be part of a fantastic musical event at Sage Gateshead, on Tuesday 25th November.
The concert involves schools from across the whole of the Morpeth Partnership including the High school, all three Middle schools and all First schools.
More details will follow but just to give you a flavour, the students will be performing songs from musicals and films, most of which you’ll probably know very well. all three Middle schools and all First schools.
Tickets for this event have now sold out so it promises to be a night to remember. We hope it’s going to be a showcase for the talent we all produce.
The Ticket Office number is 0191 443 4661 and it’s open from 10am daily.

Year 5 had a wonderful day at the Great North Museum on Thursday. The children enjoyed looking at the different exhibitions and completing their activity books. Here are some of the things the children enjoyed the most:
“I liked going through the journey to the afterlife.”
“I enjoyed the dinosaur exhibition and looking at the T-Rex.”
“I enjoyed putting my initials onto Hadrian’s Wall.”
“I liked seeing the real life mummy.”
All of the Year 5 teachers were extremely proud of how the children behaved on their first trip and are looking forward to taking them to more places in the future – well done!
Our annual Open Day and Evening took place on Wednesday 1st October.
It was great to see so many parents and students visiting the school and the day was incredibly positive.
We hope to see many of you again very soon.
A Macmillan coffee morning was held on Friday 26th September. Students did themselves proud and brought in a huge range of cakes and biscuits that they had made. We had an extended morning break and raised almost £240 in just 25 minutes! A cheque has now been forwarded to Macmillan Cancer Support.
Thank you – you’re amazing!
Lets Colour Global Arts Project
Last year, as part of the Bronze Arts Award, students from Chantry and Newminster in Year 8 have been working collaboratively to create 4 large murals to go up in the school grounds. Dulux have funded the project through Groundwork North East.
Each board represents a spiritual, moral, social, and cultural theme. The students developed their ideas together and used the Dulux weathershield paints with imagination.
The current Arts Award group are busy designing boards for Chantry, using different interpretations of SMSC:
Cultural – ‘My design represents different countries and cultures interacting in a modern, technological world’ Emma Loughnane, Chantry
Moral – ‘I was inspired by Michelangelo’s hands for my own design. I have used lightening to show the connection between people’ Kate Seymour, Chantry
Other Projects
- German art competition in collaboration with Newcastle University
- The Suffragettes sculpture project with Sanderson Arcade
- Arts Award showcased at Sage Gateshead for the North East Arts Award Conference
- Pitman Painters art workshops at Woodhorn Museum for all Year 6 students
- Rutherfords Christmas card competition
Congratulations to everyone who took part in the sponsored walk on Friday 19th September. A staggering 4423 laps of the course were completed and an even more impressive £2400 raised, allowing us to make a £1000 donation to the Paediatric Unit at the RVI – one of the largest single donations that the school has ever made.
Thank you to everyone for their efforts and hard work!
