Careers Discovery Day 2026 – Inspiring Futures at Gosforth Academy Our Year 10 students had an incredible time at this year's Careers Discovery Day, meeting employers and professionals from a wide range of industries and learning first-hand about the exciting opportunities available to them in the world of work. Throughout the day, students developed valuable skills including communication, teamwork and problem-solving, while gaining a real insight into what employers are looking for and the many different career pathways open to them. A huge thank you to all of the amazing volunteers and organisations who gave up their time to inspire the next generation. Your support makes a real difference, and we couldn't do it without you.

In honour of the World Cup, Gosforth was delighted to welcome bestselling author Matt Oldfield this week. In assemblies with the whole of Year 10, Matt discussed writing about what you love, and how reading helps him as an author. In smaller workshops, Matt then helped students explore structure in making nonfiction accessible and fun.

Every student matters. Every day. School isn't just about lessons, it's about belonging, friendships and feeling part of something. When students are in school regularly, they feel more connected, confident and supported in their learning. We really value your support in helping your child attend each day and stay engaged with their school community. Together, we can ensure every student feels included and supported. #gosforthacademy #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #BelongingMatters #EveryStudentEveryDay #SchoolCommunity #AttendanceCounts #ParentPartnership

Inspiring Historical Exploration for Year 13 On Friday, our Year 13 students took part in an engaging and insightful workshop delivered by the National Archives, designed to strengthen their source analysis skills. During the session, students explored either the Suffragette movement or the Industrial Revolution, with a particular focus on local history. They uncovered fascinating and lesser-known events, including the Suffragette "Battle of Newcastle" and gained a deeper understanding of life at Newcastle Gaol. A real highlight of the day was the exciting opportunity to examine authentic historical documents from the Discovery Museum's archive, bringing history to life in a truly memorable way! A fantastic experience that combined learning, curiosity, and hands-on discovery. #HistoryInAction #Year13 #NationalArchives #SourceAnalysis #LocalHistory #NewcastleHistory #DiscoveryMuseum #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #gosforthgroup #gosforthacademy #creatingfutures

Celebrating Inclusion Through Sport! A group of students recently took part in the Xtend Panathlon, a fantastic event designed to give pupils with disabilities and additional needs the chance to experience a range of sports in a fun, supportive environment.

Success starts with showing up. Every lesson your child attends helps build confidence, knowledge and positive routines that support long-term success. It can be challenging at times, but regular attendance really does make a difference, not just to learning, but to friendships, wellbeing and future opportunities. Thank you for your continued support in helping your child show up, every day. Together, we can help every student succeed. #SchoolAttendanceMatters #SupportingSuccess #GosforthAcademy #ParentPartnership #PositiveStart #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures
