Discover Debating

Year 5 and 6 are taking part in the exciting and creative Discover Debating project with the English Speaking Union. We are one of only 53 schools in the UK to be selected for the programme to improve speaking and reasoning skills.

Everyone Active

Just a typical day at our school: rugby, daily mile, football, skipping and street dance - and that's just the half of it.

Kindness rocks

Children from Recepteion to Year 6 have been hiding their #kindnessrocks across school and causing a conversation. Here we have Reception and Eva from Y1 with their amazing creations.

Times Table Rock Stars is a new engaging programme to help support our school development target of improving ALL children's basic calculation and mathematical skills. Here are Y4 channelling their inner rock star!

Times Table Rock Stars touch down at Seaburn Dene

Every Tuesday, we welcome Open The Book - members of our local community who engage the children in Bible stories as part of our collective worship. The children really look forward to each new instalment.

The Kennel Club support Bark and Read - an innovative reading project in our school, where children work with expert handler Nicole Crossley and Robbie the dog to enhance and support their reading.

Bark and Read

We challenged the school to complete 30 different activities as part of our Summer Challenge over the six weeks holiday, from flying kites to watching the sun go down. The response was phenomenal. The biggest pat on the back goes to our marvellous Y1 class, who produced a stunning batch of entries. It was very difficult to pick two winners.

Creative Y1 and their fabulous summer challenge entries

Robin and His Sherwood Hoodies

In 2015 the Christmas by Candlelight production was Robin and His Sherwood Hoodies. It was very challenging with up to 90 lines to learn but we made it! The audience rolled in the aisles with laughter. If parents have any further photographs we can use please email them to us.

Shakespeare Rocks them in the Aisles

On Wednesday evening the Drama Club performed Musicline's musical play "Shakespeare Rocks". The audience roared with laughter during every scene as the cast delivered the cleverly written puns with confidence and skill.

Year 4 perfect the Testudo formation at Arbeia Roman Fort.

Year 4 spent an amazing day, exploring the ruins and re-living life as front-line Roman soldiers on Hadrian's Wall. During our visit to Arbeia Roman Fort in South Shields, we met Roman Centurion Maximus, who drilled the children and prepared them for battle against the fearsome Celts, aka their teachers and parent volunteers.
