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 A real highlight of the day was the exciting opportunity to examine authentic historical documents from the Discovery Museum's archive, bringing history to life in a truly memorable way!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. From curling and boccia to basketball, the students showed incredible enthusiasm, teamwork, and determination throughout the day. We're especially proud to share that they achieved an amazing second place in the competition - what a brilliant accomplishment! Well done to all involved, your achievements inspire us all! #InclusionForAll #Panathlon #InclusiveSport #GosforthAcademy #Teamwork #ProudMoment #SportForAll #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures

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

A group of Year 10 students at Gosforth Academy took part in the 'Be Internet Citizens' towards the end of term, delivered by Marcus and Jen from Parentzone. Students explored the difference between misinformation (false info shared by mistake) and disinformation (false info spread deliberately to deceive), and were challenged to think critically about what they see online. They got creative too, producing posters, raps and poems exploring how to spot and challenge unreliable content. A fantastic, engaging session. Thank you Parentzone! #DigitalLiteracy #BeInternetCitizens #CriticalThinking #parentzone #gosforthgroup #creatingfutures
