Official Opening!

By J Ranson16th June 2017

We have been in our new building now for nearly a full academic year, and are delighted to announce an official opening on Wednesday 12 July at 3:30pm.

The elected mayor of North Tyneside, Norma Redfearn, will officially open the new building, with invited special guests and local dignitaries. The event is a free ticketed event, but as tickets are limited students will be restricted to just two per student.

We will also include a performance by our Drama and Music students and tours of the new building.

FREE TICKETS are available to collect from the school’s reception from Monday 19 June.

MaD Day at Newcastle Medical School!

By J Williams16th June 2017

On Thursday 15 June, eleven Year 9 students visited Newcastle University MaD day (Medicine and Dentistry day) to give them an insight into what it was like to study medicine or dentistry at university.

They had a fabulous time at the Medical School, getting hands on experience in a range of activities including maintaining airways, fitting neck braces, performing ultrasound scans of the abdomen, plastering “broken” arms and practising laparoscopy building towers with sugar cubes.

At the Dentistry school they practised coordinating movements while looking through a mirror, examined dentition from various animals and human teeth samples, revealed how good they were at brushing their teeth using disclosing tablets and carved a

false tooth out of wax. A very enjoyable day all round for our potential doctors or dentists of the future.
