Jesmond Park Academy

Last week the English department were delighted to take 70 students to a creative workshop and poetry event, led by Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho. Students engaged enthusiastically in a range of inspiring activities, exploring poetry, performance and storytelling. The event encouraged creativity, confidence and a love of literature. Students thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity and represented the school exceptionally well.

We couldn't be prouder of our students. Your GCSE exams are well underway, and we are truly inspired by the positivity, determination and commitment you are showing every day. Your resilience reflects exactly what it means to be part of our Trust – a community that supports one another and strives to achieve their very best. Remember, all the hard work you've put in and continue to put in will pay off. But exams are not just about results. Your mental health and wellbeing matter just as much. Taking time to rest, staying balanced, and reaching out for support when you need it are all part of success too. We are proud of you, we are behind you, and we believe in you every step of the way. Keep going – you've got this. #CreatingFutures #GosforthGroup #GCSEs #ProudSchoolMoment #wellbeingmatters #jesmondparkacademy
