On Saturday, Young Mayor Oscar Daniel, a Year 8 student, took part in ‘The Big Spring Beach Clean’ event at Tynemouth Longsands. The nationwide event is organised by Surfers Against Sewage, and aims to help clean up our beaches by recycling single-use or ‘throwaway’ plastics that are sadly littering the nations coastline and rivers.
In partnership with leading sustainable brand Ecover, Surfers Against Sewage aims to collect over 50,000 plastic bottles from our beaches to create new bottles for the pioneering Ecover Ocean Plastic Bottle Project.

This year, a group of Year 10 students have been working with Newcastle United Foundation as part of an ASDAN course.
The Enterprise Academy teaches 11 to 19 year-olds the basic principles of business and self-employment using Newcastle United Football Club as a real life case study. The programme helps students understand jobs, professions and career options and delivers programmes that are innovative and fun.
