⚽ Three wins out of three! ⚽
A huge well done to our Year 5/6 boys who represented James Knott on the football pitch! Thank you for your fantastic attitude, teamwork and determination—you did yourselves and our school proud! 💚
The boys particularly enjoyed sporting their new white kits—although we suspect our parents may be slightly less enthusiastic when it comes to washing them! 🫣🧺
Thank you to Mr Johnson, the Trust PE Lead, for organising. We’re already looking forward to more fixtures next Tuesday! 👏 ...

🧪💻🔧 Year 5/6 at STEMfest! 🔧💻🧪
Some of our Year 5 and 6 girls had a fantastic day at STEMfest in Newcastle, exploring a huge range of exciting careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Women are still massively underrepresented in many STEM professions — but not if our girls have anything to do with it! 💪👩🔬👩💻👷♀️
The visit gave them the opportunity to get hands-on, ask questions, try new challenges and find out more about the incredible range of careers available within STEM.
The girls were absolutely fantastic throughout and approached every activity with so much enthusiasm, curiosity and confidence.
Well done, girls! 🌟 ...
