Great North Run 2024 Finishers! The wind and rain may have taken it’s toll on our hand-printed t-shirts… but not on our spirits! We couldn’t be more proud of Jamie - our young artist in residence - who first inspired us to run, and is going off to university in September!

After 6 months of hard work, our students sat down with their peers, parents & popcorn to enjoy their very own film premiere at @tynesidecinema. The first screening sold out in record time - so we had to add a second! Thank you all & well done for creating Home Adventures 2024!

Home Adventures trip #2 took us to @TheSillNland with our incredible historian Alex in his 100% historically accurate Roman costume! We learned all about what life would've been like for a Roman soldier on Hadrian's wall all about the wildlife at Northumberland National Park.

Really excited to be heading back to the South Shields Volunteer Life Brigade Watch House next month for the second ever ‘Tyne and Tide Project South’. Had so much fun doing this project last year, learning about South Shields and the life-saving efforts of the Life Brigade!
