Productions
Due to space, only TWO parents/Carers/Guardians per family are invited to a production and numbers may have to be capped. We ask that parents/carers or guardians DO NOT post any photographs taken, onto their personal social media pages. We also ask that everyone attending remains SEATED throughout the duration of the performance. Any young children who become upset, it would be appreciated if they can be taken out of hall to avoid disruption to the performing children.

South Tyneside Sportshall Athletics Y5/6 Finals 2024CONGRATULATIONS! Our wonderful Athletics team WON the South Tyneside Sportshall Athletics Finals yesterday at Temple Park – they were truly outstanding

.They combined together to compete in jumping, throwing, agility and sprint events culminating in a brilliant overall team GOLD medal in both the morning session and OVERALL.
Words cannot express how proud I am of the children – their hard work and dedication, along with great determination has allowed them to continue to grow and develop as great athletes this year.
It was a wonderful moment for all of the children when we were announced as winners (defending our title for the 7th consecutive year) – a much deserved success.

Have your say: Cost-of-Living Survey
At Stanhope Primary School, we are committed to supporting our young people, families and staff in all areas of life.
We know the rising cost-of-living has created challenges for many and we want to work with you to help signpost to support and keep the cost of the school day as low as possible.
To help us to find out if we’re meeting your needs as best we can, and what more we can do, we’re asking you to fill in a Cost-of-Living Survey.
The survey is confidential, quick and will help us to get a better understanding of what help we can provide.
We really appreciate your support.
• Parents/Carers survey link:
We ask that the survey is completed by Friday 29th November 2024.
Thank you
