PSHE at Callerton Academy: Yesterday, we welcomed Paul Hannaford into school to deliver a powerful assembly to students in Years 7–10 . Paul shared his personal experiences of involvement in drugs and gangs, speaking honestly about the long-term impact this has had on his life including time in prison and ongoing physical consequences. His message was both thought-provoking and impactful, helping students to better understand the real-life risks and consequences of these choices, as well as the importance of making positive decisions for their future. We are incredibly grateful to Paul for sharing his story so openly and for supporting our students' personal development in such a meaningful way. #CallertonAcademy #GosforthGroup #CreatingFutures #PersonalDevelopment #MakingPositiveChoices #StudentWellbeing #LifeSkills #PaulHannaford

Careers at Callerton Academy: Today, our Year 10 students took part in a fantastic Apprenticeships Event, giving them the opportunity to explore a wide range of career pathways beyond school. Students worked in groups to rotate around employer stalls, speaking directly with professionals about what their organisations do, the opportunities they offer, entry requirements, and the different routes into their industries. It was brilliant to see such thoughtful questions and genuine engagement throughout the event. We were delighted to welcome a wide range of employers, including Newcastle City Council, Siemens Energy, Northumbrian Water, the Police, DWP, Arnold Clark, and many more, who all gave their time to support and inspire our students. After school, it was great to see parents and carers join us to explore these opportunities alongside their children, helping to continue those important conversations about future pathways. Our Year 10 students were an absolute credit to the school representing Callerton Academy with maturity, curiosity, and respect throughout A huge thank you to all of the employers who supported the event and helped bring careers education to life for our students. #CallertonAcademy #GosforthGroup #CreatingFutures #Careers #CareersEducation #Apprenticeships #FutureCareers #SkillsForLife #CareerPathways #Employability #WorkReady #NextSteps #Opportunities #EducationMatters
