Jesmond Park Academy

Following Ms Donnelly's UK Parliament Ambassador conference in January, we warmly welcomed Mary Glindon, Member of Parliament for Newcastle East and Wallsend, to Jesmond Park Academy on Friday morning. Mary came to speak with a number of students about her role, experience and responsibility as a Member of Parliament. Mary was welcomed by Dave Merrifield, Nigel Holmes and Anna Donnelly, where Mary also had the opportunity to speak to the successful JPA Debating Team and our Youth Parliament Member, Jeevan. Afterwards, Mary attended a question and answer session held with Sixth Form students. A range of excellent questions were posed by the audience, which included the 21 new A Level Politics students in Year 12, with topics such as voting age, representation and her efforts to improve the local area. The students found it to be an incredibly useful and memorable experience. We look forward to welcoming Mary back and maintaining our positive relationship with our local MP!

World Mental Health Day Mental health is the foundation of a healthy life, both at home and in every community, including schools. Today, we observe World Mental Health Day, a time to reflect on how we care for ourselves and for one another. This year's theme, "Access to Services Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies," reminds us that support must be available not just in clinics or hospitals, but also in the places we live and learn. At home, open conversations and emotional support can make all the difference. In schools, creating safe, inclusive environments helps young people thrive - especially during times of stress or crisis. In our communities, we must ensure that mental health care is accessible to everyone, everywhere especially in emergencies. Let's continue to: Break the stigma Support mental well-being in every space Advocate for services that reach those who need them most Because mental health is a right - not a privilege. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #AccessToCare #SupportAtHome #SupportInSchools #WMHD2025 #gosforthgroup #JesmondParkAcademy
