Mrs Russell’s chemistry class investigating exothermic and endothermic reactions (Energy changes).
We investigated neutralisation reactions, bath bombs and the chemicals used in ice packs.
This term, budding Enterprise students in both Year 7 and Year 10 have worked very hard creating products to sell for a ‘Valentines Pop Up Market’.
They worked in small teams to create, advertise and then sell the products. Each team was given £10 to buy in products and raw materials. The aim was to generate as much profit as they can, with the winning team getting Amazon vouchers as a prize.
There were 7 teams overall and a grand total of £211 profit! A team from Year 7 claimed the winners prize, making £68 profit. Well done to Elsie, Charlotte, Amelie, Jessie, Lucy & Matilda!
A Valentine’s hamper was won in a raffle by Year 8 student Joel.
Well done to all involved!

Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums
KS4 Work Experience Programme
3rd July – 7th July
Are you interested in a career in Museums, Art Galleries or in the heritage sector?
In the summer term, Tyne and Wear Archives and Museums (TWAM) are offering KS4 students a focused week of work experience.
We are offering 12 places for students from schools across our locality.
The week will consist of the following:
- Learning about how TWAM and the wider Museum sector works.
- Meeting Museum and Gallery staff and learning about the many varied roles available in the Cultural/Heritage sectors.
- Observing Front facing members of staff as they work with the public, schools and also the important work behind the scenes.
- Work in groups on a live project that answers questions that are important to the running of museums and galleries.
- Present their findings to members of TWAM staff at the end of the experience
- Earn a Bronze Arts Award as part of their experience.
Schools who are interested in their students taking part in this experience will be offered a minimum of 2 places. All we ask is their chosen students send us a letter of application detailing why they wish to take part.
Students will be invited to an interview at one of our venues during the second half of the spring term.
