A big thank you to Castle School parents who supported in painting areas of school last week, 2 sensory rooms were fully painted and touch ups in our classrooms. We are also thankful to @AkzoNobel who kindly provided us with paint and brushes.
Pupils from Castle School went to different areas of our site to litter pick as part of the 2024 #GreatBritishSpringClean. Thanks to Ashington Town Council for providing us with litter pickers, bin bags and hi-vis jackets.

A very exciting visit on Monday from @NlandFRS - what a fantastic way to end #NationalCareersWeek!
We had a lovely visit last week from Nicola, a marine biologist from @Rockpoolschool1. We listened to a sensory story, explored rockpool animals and took part in sea life arts and crafts. Our students were so engaged and absolutely loved it!
#NationalCareersWeek
As part of #NationalCareersWeek, we enjoyed an interactive workshop with one of our nurses. Our students role played using the different nursing equipment and identified how a nurse looks after us.
