Yesterday 31 pupils from KS2 competed at Temple Park Leisure Centre in the South Tyneside Cross Country Finals.
Each child completed in their respective year group events, comprising of between 40 and 70 children from various schools in the borough.
All of our children, performed very well, working hard and demonstrating great determination right until the finishing line of their respective races.
Outstanding performers were:
Bobby (Y6) ran a great race to silver – he worked hard and showed his wonderful all around ability once again.
Lucas (Y4) led from the front and was never headed throughout for a very decisive victory racing to gold.
Ryan (Y3) such a great finish, tussling with the silver medalist, but pushing himself to gold in the final 100m. Such fabulous potential for the future!
Ava (Y3) following in her brothers footsteps she was never headed, leading from the front throughout for a clear gold medal winning run!
Other Top 10 finishers included:
Harry (Y6) 6th, Yanna (Y3) 7th, Lacey (Y5) 5th & Lee-Jay (Y4) 10th.
The Y3 Girls were also team winners of their age category which is fantastic for them as it was, for some of them, their first competition representing Stanhope.
I am so proud of all of you. Every mile counts…
🟡🟢SOUTH TYNESIDE TAG RUGBY LEAGUE FINALS 2022🟢🟡
Today our 18 Tag Rugby players competed at Temple Park in the South Tyneside Finals.
Our 2 teams competed with wonderful team spirit, composure and focus.
The drive, determination and sportsmanship from our teams was second-to-none as always, shaking hands with teams and thanking referees and organisers too. They are a credit to us. The children gave 100% to their team in each and every game.
Our A Team topped the table to take gold 🏉🥇🏆 winning all 7 games convincingly, while the B Team finished a creditable 5th with 1 win and 1 draw.
As this is the last event of this academic year, as well as the final event for our Year 6 pupils it made the victory all the sweeter.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the pupils for their commitment and hard work. It’s been a privilege to coach and teach them, seeing them thrive and develop into great sportspeople. Congratulations and always remember that hard work does pay off. I’m so proud of you all and every child who represents us in the green and yellow of Stanhope. 😊👍👋👏

Champions!
YEAR 6 LEAVERS FUN WEEK – Day 3Today we’ve had an amazing time at Battlefield Live, Boldon.
We enjoyed 5 different games and Mr Rogers’ Team won 3-2 vs. Mrs Craigs’ Team. 
YEAR 6 LEAVERS FUN WEEK – Day 2Today we’ve a great time exploring the river and coastline in South Shields.
We enjoyed ordnance survey mapping, local area study and finding key landmarks, then we did drawing, shading and sketching in the North Marine Park where we even spotted a pod of dolphins! Finally we had a delicious McDonalds treat.
We cannot wait for tomorrow and what the rest of the week has in store.
We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the 2021/22 academic year.
The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in
2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward and recognise school’s engagement (provision and uptake) in the School Games against a national benchmark and to celebrate keeping young people active, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
We are extremely proud of our pupils for their dedication to all aspects of physical activity and school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our events possible. We are committed to using the School Games to try and engage those young people who haven’t previously been active or represented our school and to try and ensure that all our students have a positive experience and want to try out new activities beyond school too in our community. We believe in the power of physical activity and school sport as a school and give opportunities to those young people that need it most either as a participant, leader, official or volunteer.
As part of our application, we were asked to fulfill criteria in the areas linked to the five School Games outcomes and we are pleased that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year.
