William from 2 Blue, has been nominated in this year’s One Voice Awards – the awards ceremony for the UK voice-over industry. He has been recognised for his Blueline Taxis ads, and has made the shortlist in the “Radio Commercial, Best Male Performance” category, alongside names that have spent decades perfecting their craft. Regardless of the outcome, this is already a huge win!
The winners are announced at a glitzy event in London on 18th May – We wish William the best of luck!
The week before the end of term was another good week for attendance.
We had many children with 100% attendance. Well done, keep up the hard work!
We are thrilled to share with you that our Rainbow Flag evidence has been reviewed from our recent audit and we can proudly say that we have achieved the award again!

Reverend Ian from St Johns Church joined us for our Easter Celebration assembly. We looked at the Easter Story and how sometimes the impossible can happen. Easter is a sign of new life and new hope and that we should rejoice in the lessons Jesus taught us.
Happy Easter!
Last week’s attendance was amazing!

Dear Parent/Carer,
RE:Whatsapp group encouraging self-harm in young people
We have been alerted by Northumbria Police to a worrying WhatsApp group / trend called “everyone you know x”. The content and language are not age appropriate and encourages young people to self-harm on a points-based syatem, with reference to suicide.
The group orginated in North Tyneside but now appears to be growing and circulating in wider areas of the North East. It is currently aimed at Year 6 students but is likley to start affecting other year groups. There are already 500+ members in the group, many of whom have been added to the group without their consent, by a third party because their social media settings are not secure enough. To date 3 young people have been hospitalised as a result of actions within this group.
We urge you to check your children’s phones to ensure that they are not subject to this group and ask you to make sure their privacy settings are secure. We regularly remind our pupils of this in school and will be sending out another reminder.
The NSPCC website has information about helping children who may have been affected by such content including; promoting self-harm, suicide, and eating disorders.
If you require any further information or support regarding keeping your child safe on line please speak to a member of staff or access the following website:
