St Columba’s Catholic Primary School

There were colourful clothing and kind deeds when children at a Wallsend school came together to spread some sunshine for World Mental Health Day.

Schoolchildren in Wallsend won praise from Ofsted inspectors who described them as “caring and happy” in their Report, which found their school had maintained its ‘Good’ rating.

Following the Department for Education’s (DfE) decision to deal with Reinforced Autoclaved and Aerated Concrete (RAAC) in all schools, staff and pupils at both St John Vianney Catholic Primary in Newcastle and St Columba’s Catholic Primary in Wallsend, have found themselves in new, temporary schools.
