During our G30 Presentation of Learning, students had to show lots of discipline backstage whilst waiting for their moment to shine on the stage. Savannah chose to work on some digital art – and created this beautiful rose. Great work Savannah.

Winnie and Evan in year 9 both took part in a brilliant day of racing at Northumberland and Durham County Teams swimming Championships at Sunderland, on 3rd March 2024.
They both represented Gateshead & Whickham for a fun-filled day of relay racing.
Both Evan and Winnie swam their absolute best, working incredibly well in their teams, to beat both individual PBs and predicted relay times, across almost every event.
Winnie’s team for the 200 freestyle relay are now county bronze winners. We are so proud of you both and your incredible results.
Reuben had a wonderful day this weekend learning to be a blacksmith. He loved the day learning new skills and creating 3 items from forged steel – a key ring, a wall hook and a blade letter opener!
This really is beautiful (hot) and intricate work. Amazing stuff Reuben.

Recently Arlo and Daniel competed at a National Cross Country competition in Essex.
Daniel finished 11th overall in his Under-15 category and Arlo finished 3rd in his category. Great work boys!
Dylan has made extensive adaptations to the code that we have been working with in Computing. His sprite even gets annoyed if users say that they support Sunderland, perish the thought! Great work Dylan.
Harris has successfully passed the JLC (Junior Lawyers Club) Bronze Award, demonstrating high levels of presentation skills.
In fact his presentation on a proposed law which further protects the ‘right to strike’ was so accomplished that he has been awarded with a distinction level.
Harris will now be working towards taking the JLC Silver Award to demonstrate advocacy and critical thinking skills! Great work Harris.
George passed the last of his Kyu ranks in Shotokan Karate to receive his brown and 2 white stripe belt this week. George has worked extremely hard in his training at Kaizen Karate Club and his hard work has paid off! George can now start training for his first dan grading which will lead to him receiving his black belt! Great work George and a huge well done from your crew at XPG!
Oliver in G28 successfully passed his assessment and grading in Jujitsu over the weekend and has now achieved his black belt. He did a fantastic job and smashed his time and he performed even better than on his practice runs!
He is now going to be working towards weapon work and gold tags.
Well done, Oliver!
