Ss Peter and Paul’s Catholic Primary Academy

Strong and determined leadership at a Northumberland school has raised expectations for pupils who have ‘excellent manners’ and take pride in their work. Significant improvements have been made at Ss Peter and Paul’s Catholic Primary Academy, Cramlington, which has been awarded outstanding for personal development, and an overall rating of Good following a recent Ofsted inspection.

Pupils and staff at a Cramlington school had two good reasons to celebrate this week when odd socks were the order of the day. Ss Peter and Paul’s Catholic Primary School has recently had a £750,000 makeover to create more space and pupils have been making the most of their new environment.

Whitley Bay Playhouse saw more than 200 young performers take to the stage for a musical celebration of the partnership of their schools. Organised by St Benet Biscop Catholic Academy in Bedlington, the Partnership Celebration Performance brought together around 220 dancers, singers and musicians from the Bishop Bewick Catholic Education Trust’s member schools.
