Jesmond Park Academy

We are delighted to announce that Jesmond Park Academy have achieved the School Games Gold Mark Award for the 2025/26 academic year. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competitive sport across school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success. We are extremely proud of our pupils competing in local inter-school competitions this year and for their dedication to all aspects of school sport, including those young volunteers, leaders and officials who made our competitions possible. As part of our application, we were asked to fulfil criteria in the areas of participation, competition, workforce and clubs, and we are delighted that the hard work of everyone at our school has been rewarded this year! #schoolgamesaward

Creative Translation Workshops What a great way to kick off September for our A Level Spanish students who took part in a Creative Translation Workshop led by a professional translator and facilitator with the Stephen Spender Trust! The session gave students the chance to explore an authentic Chilean book and work together to translate it into English in creative and imaginative ways. As well as developing their language skills, students were challenged to think carefully about culture, meaning and the different ways ideas can be expressed in another language. Through this workshop we are hoping that creative translation can support language learning and encourage young people to engage with languages. The students thoroughly embraced the challenge, and it was fantastic to see them using their Spanish in such an authentic and engaging context. We are really looking forward to future sessions later this term! #stephenspendertrust
