Congratulations to all students and staff from Wilkinson House on winning the Inaugural Jarrow School House Cup. Throughout the year, students have gained points through demonstrating our school values - Responsibility, Resilience and Respect. Academic progress and Extra-Curricular Attendance have also contributed alongside the many House Challenges to have taken place throughout the year (The Paper Aeroplane being a particular favourite).
Although Palmer House challenged over the final term, they never really threatened our winners who pretty much lead from start to finish. We go again in September!
On the 7th and 8th July, 8 of our Year 10 students got to experience life at Jesus College, Cambridge University. They received a tour around the campus and city. Granted access to leading professors in Mathematics, Linguistics and Chemistry and in addition, they had contact time with student ambassadors that discussed what life is like in higher education and what opportunities it can provide.
Mr Thompson had the pleasure of spending the afternoon at Town Hall with the Mayor, receiving the Maintaining Excellence Award for BHAWA. In addition to this, we have also been awarded ambassador status which highlights the hard work that goes into keeping staff happy and healthy at work.
