     Cultural Match Programme

     

    We are delighted that we are one of twelve schools from across Northumberland, North Tyneside and Newcastle who have been successful in an application to the ‘Cultural Match Programme’.  The aims of the programme are to connect children and young people, schools and communities with art and cultural opportunities and experiences, each programme responding to the needs of the school. The programme will give our pupils opportunities to take part in cultural activities, enable them to visit cultural venues, and help with their learning across the curriculum.  It will connect with our early career teachers and help them build their confidence working in partnership with cultural organisations and allow them to share the learning across the school.  We can’t wait to get started!

    This programme is managed by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums and supported by North of Tyne Combined Authority.

  • Primary Engineers project

    Fri 21 Apr 2023 G Easton

    On Tuesday 18th April, three of our children represented our school at the Primary Engineers Celebration morning at the Discovery Museum in Newcastle. Harley and Bhaavya were our Year 6 team who were able to put their trains to task that their groups back at school had made over the past seven weeks. They did a fantastic job, received participation certificates and did our school proud! 

    Eva in Year 2, held the torch for her year group and her train was put through its paces and finished top of the ramp challenge where it landed exactly on the spot with the most points. Adding this to a very impressive interview about how she had made her train, by representatives from Stadler and the Reece Foundation who sponsored the event, she went and won first place! She received a Primary Engineers hat, medal and certificate! 

    Well done to all three children who were marvellous!!
