Good evening.
I hope that you are all enjoying the Summer break.
As we start the countdown to our return, I was hoping that the children could start collecting cardboard. This will be needed the first 3 days back when we will complete an art project across school.
This can be cardboard from packaging or large boxes. Any the children can save would be greatly appreciated. They can bring it to their crew class when they return on 30th August.
I hope they enjoy the rest of their time off and I look forward to seeing them on our return. See you all soon.
Thanking you in advance. Miss Shields
Yesterday we celebrated another fabulous year at Carcroft School. We came together as a community to enjoy our annual family picnic and say goodbye to our Y6 children. We had a great time ☀️🥳
Many thanks go to our community for a great school year! We wish everyone an enjoyable summer, filled with fun and laughter.
































We loved learning skills from Mr Dan.









What a fantastic end to the year .. the children really enjoying getting wet .. 100% attendance











































G29 Students at XP Gateshead launched their book ‘From The Ground Up’ which answered the guiding question ‘What do the communities of North East England owe to the miners?’ at Seven Stories in Newcastle!







They also celebrated all of their beautiful work from their first year at XPG – you can view a collection of it here!
Year 5 and 6 Students at Plover School launched their awesome new Poetry Anthology ‘At the Coalface’ at a Mining Gala they hosted for their local community – beautiful work!






Over 5 years ago Miss Stewart and Miss O’Neill started their journey with us at Green Top as apprentices. They then progressed and secured Learning Coach positions whilst studying towards a degree in Education. Over the last two years they have both completed their degree and qualified as teachers! We are so unbelievably proud of them both and grateful that we were a part of their special journey. Sadly we didn’t have any teaching positions for them at Green Top so they have secured teaching positions in other schools. Again, we are so, so proud of them! We wish them both lots of luck in their new schools and know that they will be wonderful teachers inspiring many children in the future!

This year we say goodbye to Sue, one of our school cooks. She has been looking after us all for 30 years and we will be sad to see her leave!
We presented Sue with flowers and gifts today and celebrated her time at Green Top!
Good Luck Sue!

Year 9 students from XP and XP East gifted 30 terrariums they created for the residents of the Oaklands Care home this week. The home on Bawtry Road was delighted to accept the miniature indoor gardens, which the residents will look after and keep.
Darren the Oaklands manager is pictured here accepting the terrariums – all of which are low maintenance and were happily handed over to residents.

Ed Miliband shared an update from his Facebook page about XPCC23, praising students for their awesome work and involvement in the conference.
