The RE department took 38 students to Durham Cathedral on Wednesday 18 December. The students were welcomed into the Cathedral and had the opportunity to explore a major place of Christian worship and pilgrimage, learning about the story of St Cuthbert and the origins of Christianity in the North-East, as well as seeing the practices they have been learning about including attending the service. A really good and valuable day for all involved.
We would like to thank all of the students, staff and parents that have donated to the Wansbeck Food Bank this year. Food poverty continues to be a significant challenge for so many in our community and these donations will help to support those that need it most this Christmas.
Year 9 student, Emily has the privilege and responsibility of being elected to the UK Youth Parliament.
In October, Emily attended Warwick University to participate in the annual conference where there were lots of debates. The MYPs were updating their manifesto as part of the conference. As part of the conference, Emily got to meet MYPs from all over the country, sharing their experiences and ideas.
Emily, and her peer peer James, MYP at RGS Sixth Form, have been supported by Ben, the participation lead at Northumberland County Council. Emily will be able to visit the Houses of Commons in February 2025 to debate and discuss the motions they passed in the manifesto that they created at the annual conference in October.
Year 11 student Helen and her younger brother Arthur who is in Year 9 both love the water and are keen sailors and are raising money again this year for the RNLI.
Over the years they have raised over £10,000 for the R.N.L.I., by busking and in the last 4 years by their musical advent calendars.
Last year it raised over £2700 for the RNLI, and they would love to smash their record this year. In return, each day they will be uploading a musical performance, and hopefully spread some Christmas Cheer. Please see their Just Giving page if you wish to donate.
Headteacher Clare Savage commented “It is great to see this pair in musical action again. We are so proud of these hugely talented students. They have set their target to £2000 which would take their total fundraising for the RNLI to £12,000 ”

Year 11 Drama students enjoyed a fun filled afternoon at the opening show of the Theatre Royal’s annual pantomime. It was an opportunity for our students to enjoy a professional production in a stunning venue, giving them the chance to see, in practice, the techniques they learn about in class.
KEVI students get an awful lot of opportunities which they can take advantage of and aspiring Engineer, James, did just that. Students were invited to apply to become part of Northern Powergrid’s Youth Insight panel. Successful appliant James, who is a current Sixth Form student, is enjoying his time learning about different careers and sharing his ideas.
