On Thursday 25th April 2019, members of our School Council took part in an Anzac Day Service at Kirkpatricks Statue in South Shields. They laid a wreath and along with other schools, read out the poem, Flanders Fields.
Afterwards, the children were invited to join the Mayor for lunch at the Town Hall, which they really enjoyed. The children were very well behaved and a credit to the school.
We have had a tremendous success in WINNING the South Tyneside Tennis Finals, held at Boldon LTA today and thus defending our title from 2017 & 2018.
Our 8 fantastic tennis players won 20, drew 4 and lost just 8 of their matches. Their hard work, dedication, enthusiasm and determination to succeed has certainly paid off.
They were winners with a total of 8.5 points, 2nd were Biddick Hall A 8 points and 3rd were East Boldon 6.5 points.
They, alongside our Athletics Team will now compete in the Tyne and Wear County Finals on June 27th at Silksworth Sports Complex in Sunderland.
A tremendous achievement. I’m simply delighted and proud of each and every child involved. Congratulations!
Mr Rogers
CHAMPIONS 2019
We are aware that it is coming up to ‘holiday season’ and we strongly advise that children attend school and have holidays in the allocated weeks. Holiday requests into school will be declined.
Last year we had 96.2% attendance which is above the national average. We constantly strive to better our yearly record and by doing this we have attendance rewards.
A big well done to all of the children who received 100% attendance in the Spring Term. We had a total of 61 children!! 💯 As a reward the children had an afternoon of magic! The children were amazed by some of the fantastic tricks and twists throughout the afternoon. The children were in Reception/KS1 and KS2 groups giving the perfect show for their age range. There was laughter all around!
We hope that the Summer Term has even more children with 100% attendance! ☀️
Nursery enjoyed a great morning and afternoon of crafty fun for the Easter Egg Decorating session. We had a great turn out of parents- thank you for your support. It was lovely to see so many fantastic ideas. Good luck everyone!
CONGRATULATIONS to our SUPERB Netball team who were today crowned TYNE AND WEAR COUNTY CHAMPIONS!!
I am so proud of the 7 pupils, who have put in lots of hours training for this event. They were exceptional with great passing, footwork, interceptions and team spirit demonstrated throughout each and every game. They remained undefeated in the competition and were invincible.
They combined together to win all 6 group games beginning with Hill View (Sunderland) winning 5-1 with Aston scoring 3, as well as Beth and Brooke with 1 a piece. Next up was the Royal Grammar School (Newcastle) winning 4-2 with Aston scoring 2, along with Charlie and Layla 1 goal each. The third match was against Gosforth East Middle School (Newcastle), who eventually finished 4th overall. We won 5-1 with Beth and Brooke scoring 2 goals and Layla 1. We then faced Portobello (Gateshead) winning again 8-0, Beth and Brooke with 3 goals, along with Aston’s 2. The penultimate group game was against our friendly rivals from South Tyneside, St. Aloysius. Here we won 6-0 Layla, Charlie and Sophie scoring 2 goals each. The final group game was against Christ Church (North Shields) where we won our 6th game 5-0 Beth scoring 2, with Layla and Brooke scoring 1 goals each.
Therefore we were group 1 winners and progressed to the gold medal match, facing Hotspur (Newcastle) in the final. It was a really tough game, however our skill and determination pulled us through to a 5-3 victory!
We were all overjoyed to be the winners and gold medalists. It truly is an amazing achievements for our pupils and school, in such a short space of time to have such tremendous success. Not only that, but other schools commented on our friendliness, caring attitude and sportsmanship which is a delight to hear and see from such wonderful role models. Alongside this many schools, including St. Aloysius and Mortimer stayed to support our team which was gratefully received and lovely to have.
Well done to the seven superstars! As I always say – hard work really does pay off!
Congratulations once again!
Mr Rogers
What a moment!
