Here is the timetable for the Guided Choices programme this year for Year 9 students. Keep checking the ‘Guided Choices 2021/22’ page on our website for more details and updates.
Bikeability is ‘cycling proficiency’ for the 21st century, designed to give the next generation the skills and confidence to ride their bikes on today’s roads. Even though it was a staff training day, some Year 7 and 8 students came in and had a great time honing their cycling skills!
Year 7 have been learning about the human body in Science, and worked together to build their very own skeleton!
This Thursday 21st October we will celebrate WEAR RED DAY. Students are encouraged to wear red in support of anti-racism. Voluntary contributions will be donated to SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD.
Our partnership with Newcastle United Foundation continued on Friday as the Year 8s enjoyed workshops as part of our drive to deliver more careers-based lessons to Key Stage 3 students.
Our student health ambassadors have made this video for Year 7 students to help their transition into high school and maintain a healthy wellbeing whilst they are here.
Year 8 students have been acting out scenarios in French, based on the poem by Jacques Prévert. They had to translate it into English and chose to express it in different ways, with some students creating comics and drawing sketches for The Big Draw, and others acting out a dramatic performance.
BIMA Digital Day gives 11-16 year olds an insight into a world of digital careers. Our Year 10 students will soon be given the opportunity to compete in a sponsored, nationwide digital challenge for a chance to win £500 cash for our school and some fantastic prizes for themselves.It’s a day that brings digital to life. 95% of BIMA members told us a lack of skills was holding back their growth. The Centre for Economics and Business Research agreed, saying the shortage of tech and digital talent is costing the UK £21.8bn.
Pandemic aside, digital has been growing at twice the rate of the broader economy. But unless we fix the skills shortage, that can’t continue.

Year 7s proving to be a force to be reckoned with in this practical Science lesson…
As part of an ongoing series of careers-based workshops with Key Stage 3 students, on Friday we were visited by the Bell Group, who worked with some Year 7 students about their opportunities and apprenticeships. The students took part in painting, decorating, drilling, plastering and surveying workshops with industry professionals.
