I feel like my subtle @thefutureheads reference might have passed some fellow MPs by…
"Where passion and identity is strong, there is music. And Sunderland is a Music City." Watch @LewisAtkinson's brilliant maiden speech in Parliament as he talks about the innovation that is Sunderland's past, present and future.

What a start to the term. Our Y11s are hitting the ground running. Great to be back!
Two of our Y11 students absolutely smashed a Functional Skills Maths paper today. They were in a Maths lesson and just thought they’d ‘give it a go’. Well over 80% for them both. So proud of their confidence, numeracy knowledge and resilience. Maths Marvels! ⭐️

Great article from @SCHOOLSNE in this week’s @TES. Brilliant to have a platform where our collective voices can be heard. Let’s hope our next government sit up and take notice
Recognise the impact of long-term poverty on schools, promote creative and vocational subjects, improve teacher recruitment – @SCHOOLSNE has published a list of priorities for the next government tes.com/magazine/news/genera…

Our students loved taking part in our very own Grand Prix in school today to experience @STEMLearningUK @stem_feed @InterestingSTEM first-hand. Thank you to @BBP_Experiences. Amazing day bringing STEM to life
Terrific “hands-on” STEM Day @TheBoLSchool today. Learning about how forces, apexes, hairpins, weight, drag and aerodynamics affect performance with @BBP_Experiences on our very own Beacon race track. Look out @LewisHamilton! #STEM

Loving this! What a talent. Looking forward to Luke sharing his skills on Friday for #WorldMusicDay when he performs LIVE in Sunderland city centre. #Beacon’sGotTalent #MusicArtists #KeepMusicLive
A HUGE first for @TheBoLSchool with our very first student achieving @Artsmarkaward Bronze. Luke has worked extremely hard to develop his musical skills as creator, researcher, and leader, sharing his talent by teaching others. Amazing! Well done, Luke #AimHigh #ProudMoment

Imagine how exciting making your own podcast has been? We’ve had students researching, creating content, managing interviews, operating specialist podcast technical kit. They’ve worked like a team of true professionals. Thank you @stephgdurkin @BigRiverFilms and @NT_Schools

I LOVE ❤️ when we are able to give our young people these terrific opportunities to Learn More, Do More and Be More. I’d have loved this when I was at school! #ArtMakesMeHappy
What a FANTASTIC day our students have had today. A guided tour of this incredible artwork installed across the region with the artist himself @MarkOne87. Our culture vultures immersed themselves in the creativity. Thank you @NT_Schools @stephgdurkin and especially Mark

If you think hosting a blanket of 2,999 squares can reduce suspension and permanent exclusion in your local area, please get in touch. National tour next year... The big stitch is on the 25th and 26th April at the Link School, Sunderland⭐️. What would you do with it?
