Gold DofE Award at Buckingham Palace
Massive well done to Kirsty in year 13 on receiving her Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award at Buckingham Palace.

The gold level is certainly incredibly challenging and it was lovely to see Kirsty develop and refine so many key skills and qualities.

Northumberland 26 mile Coastal Challenge Walk
Well done to the six students and six staff that completed the 26 mile challenge from Bamburgh to Amble.

Everyone did really ...
