School Newsletter.pdf

The Venerable Bede Academy's June 2021 newsletter bids farewell to Year 11 students, wishes them good luck, and announces the potential "Y11 Summer Ball" on July 2. The school will reopen on June 7, and the office is closed during the half-term break. There have been no positive COVID-19 cases last term, attributed to protective measures in place. The school has an active recycling scheme for school uniforms and reminds everyone that the summer break is 7 weeks long, with school closing on July 16 and reopening on September 8. The headteacher reflects on the past five years, praising the class of 2021 for their determination, resilience, and kindness. The school is participating in research projects, including the Epistemic Insight Project, which explores the crossover between Science and Religious Education. A local charity, Children North East, is working with the school on the Voices Project, gathering pupils' perspectives on the impact of the National Lockdown. The Design and Technology Department showcases pupils' work, including a patient egg project and alternative jigsaw creations.
