Gosforth Academy

Happy May Day! As we welcome May, we're reminded of growth, renewal and looking ahead to the future. For our students, this is an especially important time as exam season approaches. Across our Trust and academies, we're encouraging everyone to look after their health and wellbeing – getting enough rest, eating well, staying active and taking moments to pause and breathe. Small, positive habits now can make a big difference, helping young people feel confident, resilient and ready to achieve their best. Exams are just one step on a much bigger journey. By supporting healthy minds and bodies today, we're helping to create strong, successful futures for tomorrow. Wishing our whole community a positive and motivating May Day. #MayDay #WellbeingMatters #HealthyMinds #ExamSeason #CreatingFutures #StudentSuccess #GrowingTogether #TrustCommunity #gosforthgroup #gosforthacademy

The Sign of True Champions True champions aren't defined by never falling but by how they respond. And our Year 10 football team showed exactly what that means in the City Cup Final After an earlier narrow defeat to Wallbottle ended a long unbeaten run, the stage was set for a dramatic rematch. Under pressure, after an unexpected detour, the boys showed resilience, unity and belief. The result? A dominant 7–3 City Cup Final victory, rediscovering the scoring form that's seen them net 67 goals in just 12 games this season An incredible response. An unforgettable performance. A team to be proud of.

These two superstars have won this year's Gosforth Academy Kindness Award. The award started last year and gives Gosforth Academy staff and students the chance to nominate students who have performed an act of kindness, however small, in school or their local community. Bruce D and Oliver M, both in Year 9, recently helped a member of the public who collapsed in the street in Gosforth by making sure they were comfortable, reassured, and that an ambulance was called. The voting panel selected these two students because of the bravery and community spirit they both showed. They displayed our school values and are an absolute credit to our community! #gosforthgroup #gosforthacademy #creatingfutures #communitykindness #InspirationalStudents #proudschool

A brilliant 3–2 win over favourites Kenilworth secured the title, our seventh girls' title in seven years. KS5 Boys: Strong 5–0 QF win before facing worldclass opposition in the semi and 3rd/4th playoff. Gosforth Academy finished as the best-performing school across all categories.

Champions Twice Over! A huge congratulations to our Year 10 boys' football team, who ended their season in style! After dominating the East League with 20 goals scored and none conceded, they went on to win the historic Exhibition Cup and become Regional champions. A tense semi-final penalty shootout and a brilliant 3–1 win in the final showed their determination, teamwork, and incredible talent. The journey continues as they now head into the City Cup semi-final and County Cup final.

On Monday, 9th March, 30 Year 13 A-level Physics students travelled to Kielder Observatory. Unfortunately, the weather was not on our side again! However, the students still had a fantastic time with a tour of the observatory, talks from professional astronomers on exoplanets and shooting stars and a chance for them to ask astronomers anything and everything they wanted to know. Highlights also included standing on Mars and looking through a microscope at an asteroid that contained 13 of the 20 amino acids needed for life! #gosforthacademy #gosforthacademysixthform #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures #kielderobservitory #SixthFormLife #AlevelPhysics #STEMEducation
