🔥 KS4 Boys Take on the Phoenix Project! 🚒

Our KS4 boys have been getting stuck into the Phoenix Project with Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service!

The programme is giving our students the opportunity to develop teamwork, resilience, communication and confidence, while experiencing new challenges and learning valuable skills for life beyond school.

A fantastic opportunity to step outside the classroom, challenge themselves and work together. 💪

A huge thank you to Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service for supporting our students and providing such a valuable enrichment experience!
