Three cheers for Robert Bell from Consilium Evolve!
The Head Teacher of the secondary school, which is based in Sunderland and offers alternative provision for students suffering from poor mental health, has received national recognition for his groundbreaking work. We’ve got goosebumps.
The power of art should never be underestimated, and so it’s always a delight to hear of pupils exploring their creativity in this way.
For St Mary's Catholic Primary School, this has become a reality after their school was transformed into a beautiful gallery… powered by art from the pupils themselves!
To rejoice is a choice that shouldn’t be overlooked; it's a feeling that bubbles up from within, spreading warmth and light that expresses the heart's deepest happiness and gratitude.
That’s exactly what Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust (BCCET) hoped to encapsulate with their very own Gaudete (which means rejoice).
We’re only three months into the academic year and already so much has happened. You know what they say: time sure flies when you’re trying to do your best in a sector that's repeatedly facing galling government news, ever-changing expectations, and stressful setbacks.
Well, that’s not quite the saying, but it’s incredibly apt for the UK’s education sector.
A wise man once said “a picture paints a thousand words”, and pupils at St Robert’s Catholic First School in Morpeth put that to the test with a meaningful mural project.
Students at the Northumberland school jumped at the chance to design and paint their very own mural, which represents the school’s ethos in the form of original artwork created from an amalgamation of different pupils’ designs.
Some say that play is the highest form of learning, and we can’t say we disagree!
Play areas are essential for children's development, providing them with a safe and stimulating environment where they can explore, learn, and grow.
Christmas truly is a magical time of year, and when you believe in your (s)elf, anything can happen. The elves heard the wishes of two talented youngsters in the North East, and as a result, they landed roles in a production of Nativity the Musical!
Ladies and gentlemen, you’re almost there… only 28 more sleeps to go until that well-earned, long-awaited, highly-anticipated Christmas break. You’re doing an incredible job so far, truly.
This autumn term has been… interesting. Hey, working in the education sector is a lot of things, but at least nobody can say it’s boring.
A Head Teacher from the North East won an award live on BBC's The One Show? This was not on our 2023 bingo card but my goodness, we’ll take it.
What an incredible achievement!
There is no sweeter feeling than supporting a charitable cause and seeing your efforts make a real difference to the community.
That was the case for the caring children of St Columba’s in Wallsend, after they were able to see the results of their charity fundraising close-up when a new ambulance – courtesy of their fundraising efforts – visited their school’s playground.
What do you get when you cross St Bede’s Catholic Primary School with a cross country championship?
A cross country championship title for a second consecutive year! Determined school pupils claimed the coveted title, running rings around the competition at the South Tyneside Cross Country Championships. True trailblazers in every sense of the word.
Teaching English is what Tiegan has wanted to do since starting her A levels, and seeing as her name is Tiegan English, we’d go as far as to say that’s fate!
Yes, with a name like Miss English, it was perhaps inevitable that the 21-year-old from Sunderland would choose this particular career path.
