Student Success Spotlight We are incredibly proud to celebrate Jacob, a student at Gosforth Junior High and a member of the Newcastle Schools U13s team, who recently lifted the District Cup! Playing at the heart of the defense in the final, Jacob's performance was nothing short of outstanding. His vital role helped secure the win and showed just how important teamwork, focus, and resilience are on the big stage. Throughout the season, Jacob has demonstrated exceptional commitment, a positive attitude, and real determination, qualities that truly reflect our academy values both on and off the pitch. Keep striving, Jacob. Your hard work is paying off, and this is just the beginning! #StudentSuccess #ProudMoment #JuniorHighAcademy #Teamwork #Determination #DistrictChampions

Creating Futures in Action! Year 6A have been diving into their geography learning, exploring coastal erosion and how caves, arches, stacks and stumps are formed. They confidently learned key vocabulary and definitions, building their very own coast glossary. To show their understanding, pupils got creative with PlayDoh models, then used a vocabulary bullseye to explain each process clearly to a partner – demonstrating teamwork, communication and deep thinking skills. The pupil who scored the most points was crowned the winner! A fantastic example of curiosity, collaboration and handson learning as we continue Creating Futures together. Well done, 6A! #CreatingFutures #GosforthJuniorHighAcademy #gosforthgroup #GeographyInAction #CoastalErosion #HandsOnLearning #BuildingKnowledge

Making a difference Our charity book sale last month raised over £196 for the Alzheimer's Society. We are so proud of our library monitor Alexandra who organised and ran this amazing fundraising event in memory of her Grandad. Massive thanks to all of the parents and students who donated books for the event and helped make it the success it is. We also must give a shout out to all of the other library monitors who helped support Alexandra on the day and thank you to the staff and students who came to buy. You have all made a real, positive difference. #makingadifference #positiveimpact #communityimpact #gosforthjuniorhighacademy #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures

Careers Fair Inspires Students' Future Pathways Last month, our Careers Fair created a buzz at our school. We welcomed a wide range of guests, including dentists, nurses, representatives from Newcastle United Foundation, other professionals, volunteers and charitable organisations. Students were given a glimpse into many pathways their futures could hold. They moved from stall to stall, engaging in thoughtful conversations, asking insightful questions, and showing genuine enthusiasm for discovering new possibilities. #gosforthjuniorhighacademy #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #CareerPathways #careersfair #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #FutureCareers

It's officially begun... Our Year 5 students have started the very first stage of decorating our Peter Rabbit sculpture, and they've already been showing off some seriously impressive art skills. This is just the beginning, think of this as a little sneak peek of what's to come... We're so excited to watch the project take shape, and we will be sharing every step along the way. A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Poem and Patchwork Jacket competition. We've been blown away by the creativity and effort in so many fantastic entries. It has certainly not been easy to choose! We'll be announcing the winners in assembly next week. #PeterRabbitProject #Year5Creativity #ArtInAction #CreativeCurriculum #ProudSchool #YoungArtists #SchoolCommunity #gosforthgroup #GosforthJuniorHighAcademy #creatingfutures

Year 7 Have Also Been Baking Up Some Treats in the Food Tech Room! The classroom has been full of focus (and fantastic smells!) as students worked stepbystep through the process of making blueberry muffins. From careful health and safety practice to confidently following the recipe, they've really impressed us with their independence. Their teamwork was brilliant too, lots of helping hands, problemsolving, and encouragement all around. And of course... the smiles during the taste test said everything we needed to know! Well done, Year 7, a great effort all round. #FoodTechFun #LifeSkill #BakingSkills #YoungCooks #KitchenLearning #gosforthgroup #GosforthJuniorHighAcademy #CreatingFutures
