On Wednesday 16th July 2014, over 350 parents, carers and relatives joined our 235 Year 9 students at our Celebration of Achievement awards. All Year 9 students came up on to the stage to be congratulated on their efforts across the school year, with each student receiving a certificate personalised to their achievements. In addition, more than sixty students returned to the stage for a second time to be given subject or house awards to recognise excellence. The event also included some exceptional musical performances. Thank you very much to all those that took time out of their hectic schedules to attend and help to make the event an enormous success. In addition, a big well done to the Year 9 students who have clearly worked very hard over the course of the year and conducted themselves superbly through the course of last week’s event.

Mr. Cowan

We are delighted to be able to share some of the exciting work produced by some of our Y9 pupils with glass artist, Judith Gill.

We were initially contracted by local glass artist Judith who was invited by the Mayor of Yarm to become involved in the commemorations of the centenary of World War 2.

We selected a group of twenty Y9 pupils to work with Judith, producing 85 glass poppies commemorating the 85 local servicemen who died in the conflict.

As part of a six month community festival of commemoration there will be a weekend of special events on 2nd- 4th August, culminating in a candlelight vigil, to mark the start of the war, 100 years ago. The artists will walk out of the crowds bearing their glass poppies that will be illuminated from within by candlelight. Each pupil will pass their poppy onto a member of the descendant’s family.
