Señor Hornsby said aerwards ‘I was just pleased to complete the distance, which I had never run before. I was already suffering badly at the half way mark and had developed painful blisters on the soles of both feet. However, I just told myself to keep pung one foot in front of the other and tried to block out the pain. The marathon is a real test of your physical and mental resilience, a bit like the new GCSE exams! I would strongly urge pupils at Haughton Academy to enter the London Marathon in the future as it is a very rewarding experience.’ Señor Hornsby has again qualified for the race in London in 2019 and has his sights set on a top 50 finish.

North East Book Awards Year 7 pupils from Haughton Academy have been busy reading and judging the shortlisted books for this year’s north East Book Award, which is now in its 13th year. More than 25 schools from across the whole of the north East region regularly sign up to read, discuss, debate and ulAmately vote for their winner. Each year the shortlist is carefully chosen by a team of school librarians and past student judges to offer something for everyone and to help pupils to break out of their reading comfort zone and try somethimg new. The highlight of each year’s award process is the announcement event at the Centre for Life in newcastle when all the young people gather together to meet the shortlisted authors and to hear first-hand about their ideas, inspiraon and wriAng experience. The Haughton judges aended the announcement event on the evening of Monday 18 June 2018 and ‘A Place Called Perfect’ by Helena Duggan was pronounced the winner of this year’s award.

Pupils were chosen for their effort and hard work in English and Accelerated Reader during this school year and spent a lovely aernoon gaining some great sketching ps and learning how to draw cartoon characters. The Big Stch On admiring the Art displays around school, I thought it would be nice to have something in the Science corridor and came up with the idea of a sAtched Periodic Table. To do this myself would take months so aer Easter I asked for volunteers. To my great appreciaon, people from the whole Haughton community came forward to help with the project and I am pleased to say it will be finished this term. Stascs There are 110 squares each consisAng of 400 sAtches! Each square took on average an hour and a half to sAtch then the element details were sAtched on. Including the Atles there are approximately 54 641 sAtches! Quotes from the S,tchers “I find it very relaxing.” “It’s so frustrang especially when it knots.” “It’s addicAve.” “I did some while my hair was being coloured.” “I do it while watching telly.” “I sAtch in the garden.” “I do it in bed.” “I do it while my children have swimming lessons.” I’d also like to say a big thank you to the following people for their Ame and effort, I’m sure you’ll agree it was all worth it when you see the final product. Pupils: Lewis Bogomley, Lewis Bradley, Carys Davies, Charlie Dobbing, Ka,e KaeWbuakan (major sAtcher), Elisha McVay, Allana McKenzie, Maddie Morse, Megan Woods and Paige Young.

    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.

  • Services for People Secondary Schools Admissions 2019/20 Guide
    Services for People Secondary Schools Admissions 2019/20 Guide for Parents 1 Welcome Dear parent Starting any school for the first time is a huge milestone in a child’s life. Moving schools at any age or because you move home means that further important decisions have to be made. This guide gives you information about admissions to secondary school. We hope it will help you to understand the process and find the right school place for your child. It is important that you visit schools and read about their admission arrangements before you state any preferences. All of the secondary schools hold open days or evenings during September. These dates are published in this guide and on the Council’s website. Every year some schools are oversubscribed. This means that not all requests for places can be met. If a place cannot be offered at one of your preferred schools this guide provides advice on what you might do. It is therefore important that you read this guide, as well as the prospectuses from individual schools, very carefully. This will tell you about stating preferences and how decisions are made about allocating places. Staff in the Schools Admissions Team, whose contact numbers are given in this guide, will be pleased to provide further information and assistance. All the schools in Darlington are committed to the success of their pupils academically and across a wide range of activities. Wherever your child secures a school place, I hope she/he will be very happy and successful. Best Wishes Councillor Cyndi Hughes Cabinet Member
