School Open Evening for Year 6 students and families interested in joining us in Year 7 from September 2026. 

As we prepare for the upcoming academic year, it's time to ensure that all students are ready with their school uniforms. Here’s everything you need to know about ordering your uniform and why it's crucial not to delay.

Why Order Early?

1. Avoid Last-Minute Rush: Ordering early means you won't be caught in the last-minute scramble. This ensures you have everything you need well before the first day of school. Our approved supplier, Michael Sehgal & Sons Ltd, recommends you place your order before the 1st of July.
2. Guaranteed Availability: Popular sizes and items can sell out quickly. By ordering now, you guarantee that you get the right sizes and styles.
3. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your uniform is sorted gives you one less thing to worry about as the new school year approaches.

Uniform items which do not include a school logo (badge) can be purchased from any retailer as long as they meet our uniform policy standards.

All uniform items with a school logo (badge) and our school coats should be ordered from our approved supplier, Michael Seghal & Sons Ltd.

You can visit their store located at: Unit 17 Airport, Industrial Estate, Kingston Park, Newcastle, NE3 2EF (near to Tesco), where you can also benefit from a measuring and fitting service. Or you can order online at www.michaelsehgal.co.uk/callerton-academy/. You can contact them on 0191 230 2320 or email at sales@michaelsehgal.co.uk. 

Our school and uniform supplier can also help with access to secondhand uniform items.

Please contact us if you need any more information or assistance. We're here to help!

We are thrilled to announce that Callerton Academy has officially partnered with Luzhansk Secondary School in the Zakarpattia region of Ukraine. This exciting collaboration is part of the British Council’s UK-Ukraine School Partnerships programme, funded by the Department for Education, and aims to strengthen connections between our communities through a shared passion for reading.

As one of 100 schools participating in this initiative - 50 from the UK and 50 from Ukraine - we will focus on using literature as a way to broaden our perspectives, build confidence, and support mental wellbeing. Our classes will engage in joint activities that not only promote reading for pleasure but also enhance our understanding of each other’s cultures.

Katie Innes, our Principal, expressed her excitement about this partnership: "We are proud to take part in the UK-Ukraine School Partnerships program. It is an opportunity to inspire our students to discover the joy of reading while equipping them with the skills to connect with diverse cultures. This initiative aligns perfectly with our Trust's mission to educate, support, and nurture all students, regardless of their background or ability."

We would also like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Pineapple Lane Publishing for their generous donation of books. Their support provides a creative means of response to the challenges faced by students in Ukraine, emphasizing the role of literature in offering comfort, escape, and inspiration. These resources are essential for fostering a deeper understanding of language and culture among our students.

Our Year 7 student, Casper, shared his enthusiasm: “I can’t wait to meet the other class and make friends in a different country!”

The UK-Ukraine School Partnerships programme is a vital component of the 100-Year Partnership between the UK and Ukraine, dedicated to reinforcing bilateral relations across various sectors, including education. This flagship initiative, delivered by the British Council in collaboration with the National Literacy Trust, highlights the importance of cross-cultural understanding and brings international perspectives into our classrooms.

Shannon West, Head of UK Schools at the British Council, noted, “Creating opportunities for young people has been central to the British Council’s mission for 90 years. We are excited to collaborate with so many schools through this programme, providing students with the global outlook and skills they need to thrive in our interconnected world while strengthening the ties between the UK and Ukraine.”

We look forward to this enriching experience and the lasting connections that will be formed through our partnership!
