It's wonderful to see that the latest crop of Year 13s at Dame Allan's Schools are keeping up with the Leavers Fancy Dress tradition! 👏🏻 Best of luck to them all in their A Levels.

A century of history.. and more! ♦️ We recently received an incredible donation to the Dame Allan's Schools archives from Allanian H Sanderson, which included lots of incredible registers, documents and other memories of the Schools - with the oldest from 1898! These will be safely held in the school archives.

If you have anything of note that you would like to donate to the Dame Allan's archives, drop us a direct message or email [email protected] 📝

It's fantastic to see the beautiful artwork of Allanian Sofia Barton displayed in the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art! 🖼️🎨 Local artist Sofia (class of 2003) is showing 'Blazing Trails', her work that is also featured on the new Tyne and Wear Metros. Well done Sofia! 👏🏻

North East's 'hidden heritage' celebrated in Metro artwork showcased at Baltic Blazing Trails, by local artist Sofia Barton, is a striking feature on the new trains, and focuses on community leaders from the region

Dame Allan's Schools has extended its Dame Allan’s Connect programme for recent Allanians with a visit to DME Systems, a South Tyneside-based marine and subsea engineering company, as part of its growing focus on industry-led engagement 🌊

The visit brought together Allanian undergraduates with DME co-founder Michael van Zwanenberg for a tour of the facility, a presentation on the business and its operations, and a question-and-answer session exploring careers in engineering 🔧

Combining alumni engagement with direct exposure to business, Dame Allan’s Connect is building a model that supports pupils, undergraduates and early-career professionals with relevant, experience-led insight 📋

Dame Allan’s Connect: Industry insight at DME Systems Dame Allan’s Connect continues to expand with an industry visit to engineering firm DME Systems, offering Allanians valuable exposure to modern engineering and the breadth of sector opportunities.

We love these throwback pictures showing Dame Allan's Schools in the 1950s! 😍📸 Who remembers the Sixth Form balcony?

Thank you to Kathleen for submitting these to our archives, as well as the badge from her blazer!

Big day at Twickenham! 🏉🔥
