One of the best things we do each year is to gather stories from our alumni to put together our Alumni newsletter. It is packed with inspirational stories from our former students. We hope to use these stories to inspire our younger students. canva.com/design/DAHMF2JqyOMโ€ฆ

This summer, pick up a book. Here are Mr Craggsโ€™ top 6 from the last year. Check some of these out or choose your own! Donโ€™t complain if you donโ€™t like mine but I absolutely loved these! Each spoke to me in a different way. @MitchAlbom @henryfraser0 @PaulMerse @whitburnlit

Part 4 in an occasional series! โ€˜Not all readers are leaders, but all leaders are readersโ€™ said Harry S Truman! This is what Mr Craggs has read recently. Why not get away from the screen and pick up a book?

All set for open evening. Weather has conspired against us but a warm welcome and some food samples will hopefully make up for that! Come and talk to our fantastic student ambassadors in 20 subject areas.

Our charity reps recently responded to an appeal from Cheviot Court Care Home and this week delivered a load of cards written by our students to residents who were at risk of not getting any. Well done to all students who responded! @WhitCofEAcad

What a way to round off a great first half term! Our very own Sixth Form Take That entertained 1000 young people at our charity karaoke event. The boys went down a storm and the audience loved their act. So proud of them. Have a good break everyone! โฆ@WhitCofEAcadโฉ
