We are pleased to offer your child the opportunity to purchase the CGP GCSE Combined Science AQA Revision Guide, an excellent resource to support their studies.
We highly recommend this revision guide as a valuable tool to support your child’s preparation for their GCSE Combined Science examinations.

Parents of G28 and G29 if you have not bought this already, this is suitable for years 10 and 11 too.

Pricing:
By purchasing these through school you will be able to buy at a discounted price.

Foundation or  Higher Level Revision Guides: £6.75 (RRP £11.99)
Exam Practice Workbook – Higher or Foundation (includes answers): £7.75 (RRP £12.50)

To buy these please use the XP Trust Shop. We would recommend buying the Higher editions as they contain all of the information for both foundation and higher entry. We can direct students at a later date to content that is relevant to their GCSE entry in year 11. Please select the ‘pick up’ option at checkout.

In the first instance could you please order before the 5th of February, so we can place the order. If you miss the deadline we will be organising a second order later in the next half term.

Many thanks.
The Science Crew

Students were sent home this afternoon with bagels that have a best before date of 16/12/12. A best before date is an advisory date, indicating when a food is at its best quality, not when it becomes unsafe to eat.

Please check the label and do not consume the bagel if you feel it is not suitable (for example, if there is an unusual smell, appearance, or taste).

This term, G31 students have been reading the play adaptations of Malorie Blackman’s book, Noughts and Crosses.

A professional performance of the play is coming to Newcastle’s Northern Stage from 27th February to 7th March 2026.

I know that lots of students would love to see this, it is unfortunate that the dates have not aligned to the expedition.

Here is the link to book tickets as a family if you are still looking for a last minute Christmas present that is a little different!

G30 also studied this last year so would also enjoy!

Due to crew day activities tomorrow breakfast club will be cancelled – sorry for any inconvenience caused.

On Monday 24th breakfast club will resume at the new time of 8.00 am and will run to 8.25. 

On Wednesday 10th December, students in G30 will present their learning at The Farrell Centre and the Kingsgate Centre , sharing the culmination of a term-long inquiry into the guiding question:

‘How are structures important in helping us to explain our world?’

The presentation will run from 16.00 – 17.00. All families need to arrive at the Farrell Centre, Eldon Pl, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RD,  at 16.00. You will then be directed to the the correct building.

Unfortunately, the time has to be earlier for G30 Presentation of Learning due to the Farrell Centre closing early.

Please tell your child’s crew leader if you are unable to attend.

Thank you to everyone who came to the Halloween disco tonight (and everyone who supported in set up, running and degunge!)

We will post tomorrow photos and totals raised but just a quick heads up; we have some delicious sweet treats leftover that we will be selling at break and lunch tomorrow so if you would like to buy something, please bring some change! All proceeds go towards supporting Tiny Lives.
