Congratulations to Year 11 who received their results today. Once again, we are hugely proud of the efforts of our students, who have been justly rewarded for their commitment and hard work.

We would also like to thank our dedicated staff for their tremendous efforts in supporting, encouraging and guiding our students throughout their time at Northgate.

We wish all our Year 11 students every success in their future courses and look forward to seeing them in November for our GCSE Presentation Evening.

A huge thank you to Paul from The Tavern for collecting and donating some jars from the chip shop! We are so lucky to have such wonderful community links and such kindness supporting our students.

Our School Council Wellbeing Team will soon be running a terrarium workshop as part of our student wellbeing activities.

If anyone has suitable plant donations, such as baby succulents, fittonia or other small terrarium-friendly plants, we would be incredibly grateful. Your donations will help us open the workshop up to even more students.

Thank you for your continued support, and we hope everyone is having a lovely summer!

✨ A magical day at Harry Potter Studios! ✨

Last week, our Year 7s had an unforgettable VIP experience at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour in Watford. From an exclusive behind-the-scenes workshop on movie writing and producing (complete with insider secrets about current blockbuster filming!) to exploring everything from Butterbeer to Quidditch, Hagrid's hut to seeing Dobby – it was pure magic! 🪄⚡

Our students got hands-on with the wizarding world and learned what it really takes to bring movie magic to life. What an incredible educational experience!

Yesterday we celebrated the fantastic work of our Orchard Committee, welcoming their families, staff, Breckland Councillors Helen Crane and Alison Webb and Breckland officer Melanie Rushmere to The Orchard.

Our Orchard Committee proudly showcased everything they have achieved this year before being presented with their Woodland Trust Green Tree Schools Gold Award plaque and certificates. This prestigious award recognises the hard work and dedication of both past and present committee members, who have completed a wide range of environmental projects and challenges over the last couple of years.

Miss Theobald, Orchard Committee Lead, said: "I am incredibly proud of everything our students have achieved. They have shown such commitment to our projects over the past couple of years, and it has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm for nature during our after-school meetings. We are excited to begin working towards the Platinum Award next year and look forward to welcoming new members to the committee in September."

Congratulations to every student involved – your teamwork and commitment to improving our environment continue to make a real difference.
