Ofsted, Ofsted, Ofsted… It feels like we can’t escape this word no matter how hard we try, but could this, dare we say it, perhaps be a good thing right now? It’s no secret that, for quite some time, the entire school community across the country has urged the education watchdog to please revamp the inspection process.
The new year is all about embracing a fresh start and smashing new goals. For Mrs Amanda Hardie, those two boxes have been ticked already!
Why win just one cup when you can win two? That was the mentality of the sporting stars at a Jarrow primary school, and it’s certainly paid off! The school community is currently celebrating kicking off the new year with a duo of fantastic football cup wins.
They say that you should either write something worth reading, or do something worth writing… but how about achieving both? That’s exactly what the students at Washington Academy (part of Consilium Academies) did, and this is a fantastic story indeed. Hello, Daniel Tawse!

Hero origin stories are always fascinating to listen to.
For one local student who felt compelled to become a barrister after witnessing an assault on her mother at their Sunderland home, an academic scholarship just may have transformed her life…
Just before Christmas (feels like a lifetime ago now, doesn’t it?!) students at Wyvern Academy celebrated their annual Wonderful Work Rewards Event, which turned out to be a magical afternoon filled with laughter and joy.
Those are two words we absolutely want associated with our region’s schools!
STEM education in schools is incredibly important and always will be. These subjects are the building blocks of our world; we rely on this knowledge to help us shape integral pieces of modern life from smartphones to medicine.
Thursday 25 January marked our seventh annual Academies Conference, and what a brilliant day it was. If you attended, you’ll already know all about the buzzing atmosphere, friendly faces, and inspiring speeches. If you didn’t attend, let this be a lesson to never miss out again!
If you didn’t think the Schools North East Academies Conference 2024 could get any better, just hold onto your desk chair… Catherine McKinnell MP, Shadow Minister for Schools, has confirmed her attendance and will address the audience in what’s sure to be an insightful occasion you’ll not want to miss.
Born in Denton, Newcastle, Catherine’s roots in the North East are deep. She grew up in the West End of the city and attended Sacred Heart Comprehensive School in Fenham, and her family goes back generations in this area.
