Celebrating Our Year 5 PRAISE Event We were delighted to welcome parents and carers into Gosforth Junior High last week for our recent Year 5 PRAISE event. It was a truly special occasion, allowing our pupils to showcase a piece of work they are particularly proud of. From creative projects to thoughtful written work, our Year 5 pupils confidently shared their achievements with both our staffing team and their families. It was wonderful to see such enthusiasm, pride, and a real passion for learning on display throughout the school. Events like this highlight the importance of working together with our families to celebrate success and support our pupils on their learning journeys. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the event such a positive and memorable experience. #GosforthJuniorHigh #Year5 #PRAISEEvent #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #CelebratingSuccess #ProudSchoolCommunity
