🎉 Congratulations to our Year 11 students receiving their GCSE and Level 2 Vocational results! 🎉

It was wonderful to celebrate with our students, their parents and carers, and the many members of staff who came into school to share this special moment with them.

Despite two terms of significant disruption during Year 10 — including six weeks of online learning followed by 13 weeks at our temporary site in Washington — our Year 11 students have achieved some fantastic results.

📚 70% of all grades were Grade 4 or above
⭐ Almost 50% of all grades were Grade 5 or above

We are incredibly proud of every single one of them and the resilience, determination and hard work they have shown.

There were also some outstanding individual achievements, with a number of students achieving full marks or very close to full marks in examination papers in Spanish, French, Mathematics and Health & Social Care. An incredible achievement, particularly given the number of exams they sat this summer! 👏

We’re looking forward to welcoming many of our students back into the Sixth Form and wish those moving on to college, apprenticeships and other opportunities every success for the future.

Well done, Year 11 — you should be very proud of yourselves! 💙

Congratulations to our brilliant Year 13 students collecting their results today. Especially considering the disruption to school during year 12 when we relocated to Washington. 25% of all grades were grade A/A* or equivalent and almost half of all grades were grades A*-B or equivalent.

75% of students applying to University secured their first choice. A Number of students have also secured places on Apprenticeships.

We wish all of our students, whether they are off to University, Apprenticeships or travelling, the very best of luck. We hope that they take with them so many lovely memories of their time at PCHS, as we have of them!

🏟️ As part of World of Work Week, our groups had the fantastic opportunity to visit a wide range of employers from across the North East.

Our Sport group were lucky enough to spend time at St James' Park, enjoying a full stadium tour before learning about the many different career opportunities available at the club. It was a brilliant insight into the wide variety of roles that help make a football club successful, both on and off the pitch.

A huge thank you to everyone at Newcastle United for hosting us, and to all of the businesses and organisations that opened their doors throughout the week. It has been an eye-opening, inspiring experience for our students.

Finally, a special thank you to Mr Nesbitt for all of his hard work in organising such a fantastic week of opportunities. 👏

⚫⚪ A huge congratulations to Guy Bloomer, who earlier this week signed his first professional contract with Newcastle United! 👏⚽

Guy left us two years ago to join the Newcastle United Academy and has continued to make a fantastic impression with both the Under-18s and Under-21s. Despite suffering an injury earlier this season, his hard work, determination, and talent have shone through.

We're incredibly proud of everything you've achieved so far, Guy, and we can't wait to see what the future holds. Everyone here is behind you every step of the way.

Very proud. HWTL! ⚫⚪🙌

✨ While some are off on adventures, others have been busy getting creative! 🎨💛

Take a look at what our Arts & Crafts group made earlier this week. From crystal art and trinket decorating to painting mini canvases, everyone had a fantastic time creating some wonderful masterpieces.

And it's safe to say... they really love the Minions! 💙💛🍌

On Monday our Northern Adventures crew from Year 9 spent the day exploring Newcastle, including time at the Castle Keep, and then down to the Quayside to soak up the sun.

They continue the week travelling across the region to coast and countryside.

Owen in year 9 has had a great season so far in athletics and representing the school, in Under 16 boys hurdles. He won the North East Grand Prix in 13.78 seconds in April, setting an exceptionally fast time for his early races at the new distance.

Following a break due to a back injury, he returned strongly at the Schools Track and Field Cup in May, winning the 80m Hurdles in 11.3 seconds and becoming the highest-scoring male athlete of the event, winning 28 points for Prudhoe Community High School. In early June, Owen became Northumberland Schools County Champion for Inter Boys 100mH with a time of 14.1 seconds (meeting ESAA entry standard), followed by winning the Northern Schools Inter-Counties Championships.

At the prestigious UKA Northern Champs, he claimed Silver with a new personal best of 13.75 seconds, thus achieving the national standard for English Schools, and placing him 7th in the UK Rankings for under 16s, and 3rd for year 9 athletes.

Last week, Owen then travelled to Birmingham to compete at the prestigious English Schools Athletics Association National Championships having been selected for the Northumberland team. In searing 35-degree heat, and after two false starts by other competitors, Owen finished fourth in his heat in 14.05 seconds, running into a strong 2.5 headwind. Despite the demanding environment and going up against older competitors, Owen’s achievements truly reflects his steadfast commitment, determination, and resilience.

Owen you are an absolute superstar, we're all very proud of you!

More from Careers week - 19 students went to Northumbria University on Monday

We had a brilliant tour of the campus, met staff and had a chance to ask current university students some questions.

We were then based in their Law Court, which used to be Gosforth Magistrates court, and then was transported and rebuilt on the campus. In the court we took part in a mock trial with students having the opportunity to cross examine witnesses.

A real taste of the Legal professions, and opportunities to study in the region.

As part of Careers Week, our Creative Arts students had a fantastic visit to the Theatre Royal Newcastle!

They began by hearing from staff across a range of departments, who shared their experiences and provided a fascinating insight into the many careers available within the creative arts. Students then enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of both the beautiful auditorium and the stage, seeing first-hand how live theatre comes to life.

A huge thank you to the team at the Theatre Royal for such a warm welcome and an inspiring experience!
