Two of KEVI’s golfers became Northumberland school’s county champions yesterday at Longhirst Hall Golf Club. Max Paterson (left) and Alan Young (right) both play competitively at Morpeth Golf Club for the junior team. Yesterday they challenged themselves against the finest young golfers the county has to offer and both came out on-top. Max won the Under 16 title scoring the lowest score of the day across all male golfers and Alan won the Under 18 title.
In the Under 16 category, Max progresses onto national level where he competes next weekend in the 33rd English Schools National Final at Wilmslow Golf Club, Cheshire and later in May down at Stoke Rochford Golf Club in the Northen Schools Regional Final. Both players have also been selected today to represent Northumberland Under 18 against Yorkshire County at Dunstanburgh Golf Club on Tuesday 27th May. Another KEVI sixth form student, Charlie Thompson has also been selected for this fixture. Well done and congratulations to all players involved.

King’s Trust Litter Pick

11th May 2025Leanne Johnston

Once each term our Year 10 King’s Trust students link up with Dai Richards, Morpeth’s Keep Britain Tidy Ambassador, to complete a litter pick. The record for the group is an eight bag haul! Back in April, the group were back in action in much nicer weather helping to keep the school site looking good; they are excellent role models.

The activity is important as it works with local community groups and is part of the Cheviot Learning Trust’s wider objectives relating to the environment and climate action. It is important for students to develop community spirit and a social consciousness.
