Jesmond Park Academy is a thriving, inclusive, and ambitious school community, home to over 2,000 students, including a vibrant Sixth Form. We are proud to be a multicultural, co-educational comprehensive academy that values its rich heritage while looking forward with optimism and purpose to the future.
As a proud member of the Gosforth Group, we are part of a family of schools united by a shared commitment to excellence, collaboration, and 'Creating Futures'. This partnership enhances our ability to deliver an outstanding education and ensures our students benefit from a broad network of support and opportunity.
On Monday 8th December the Jesmond Park Academy Music Department hosted the annual Christmas Showcase, celebrating the hard work and dedication of 120 students. There were outstanding performances from 9 of our music ensembles. The hard work and dedication of the students certainly paid off! We look forward to sharing more music with you in 2026! This year's Christmas Concert supported the Schools of Sanctuary fundraiser, set up by City of Sanctuary UK. A group from Jesmond Park Academy's Student Voice Project baked fresh cookies and mince pies and served refreshments to guests as they arrived for the festive performances. Guests' kind donations went to the City of Sanctuary Big Give fundraiser, which matched all contributions. With JPA's support, they surpassed their fundraising target for 2025. Mr Lovatt, EAL practitioner, said "JPA was the first secondary school in Newcastle to be recognised as a School of Sanctuary, and this festive season we really wanted to spread the message that everyone is welcome here. We really appreciate all of the support given to City of Sanctuary UK's fundraiser through our Christmas Concert." Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all!

View PostThis term our after school KS2 sport provision focussed on team/invasion games. The pupils have learnt skills to help them play sports such as handball, football, volleyball, basketball, bench ball and dodgeball. Each week they played a different sport and in the last week the students chose their favourite to play. Fun and progress was made all round. Well done! Next term our focus turns to badminton. This session is now fully subscribed, but if you would like you child's name to be added to the waiting list please contact mpugh@jesmondparkacademy.org.uk. Have wonderful Christmas break!
