Year 9 at Callerton Academy: London awaits! Our Year 9 students are counting down to three unforgettable days in the capital, where they'll explore some of the UK's most iconic landmarks, experience world-class theatre with Wicked, take to the River Thames on a sightseeing cruise, brave the London Dungeons, discover the Imperial War Museum and enjoy free time at both Leicester Square and Borough Market. Last week, students and families joined us for our information event, where we shared everything they need to know before setting off – from the itinerary and packing list to accommodation, expectations and trip arrangements. A huge thank you to everyone who attended. We can't wait to take our students on what promises to be an incredible educational and cultural experience, full of lifelong memories. London, here we come! #CallertonAcademy #Year9 #LondonTrip #CreatingFutures #GosforthGroup #EducationalVisits #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #CulturalCapital #SchoolTrips #Wicked #LondonDungeons #ImperialWarMuseum #BoroughMarket #ThamesRiverCruise #AdventureAwaits

Performing Arts at Callerton Academy: Our school orchestra recently enjoyed an unforgettable visit to The Glasshouse International Centre for Music, where they performed as part of a fantastic mass orchestra in collaboration with Orchestras for All. Bringing together schools from across the North East, the event celebrated the joy of making music together. Our talented musicians performed an exciting programme including 'This Is Berk' from How to Train Your Dragon and 'We Are the Champions' by Queen. We were incredibly proud to receive wonderful feedback from both the Orchestras for All team and other participating schools, who praised our students for being enthusiastic, polite and fully engaged throughout the day. They represented Callerton Academy brilliantly and were outstanding ambassadors for our school. If you'd like to hear our orchestra perform, you'll have the chance at our Summer Festival on Wednesday 8th July. We'd love to see our families and the wider Callerton community there to celebrate the hard work and talent of our young musicians. A huge thank you to Misss Luscombe for organising such a fantastic opportunity for our students. #CallertonAcademy #GosforthGroup #CreatingFutures #Music #SchoolOrchestra #OrchestrasForAll #TheGlasshouse #StudentOpportunities #NorthEastMusic #SummerFestival
