The winning staff team from a virtual ‘Not in a Pub Pub Quiz’ took the opportunity to spin the ‘wheel of misfortune’ containing a range of styles, including the Tin Tin, mullet, complete shave and the mohawk. It landed on the Tin Tin but when it came to the chop deputy headteacher Su Gill gave the hapless volunteer a mohawk instead. “I’d not had a cut since February and it was looking a bit unkempt,” said Mr Palmer. “It feels nice and cool now.” The event was organised by assistant headteacher Catherine Robson when she heard her colleague saying he needed a haircut. She said, “He is such a good sport and always volunteers to help. He said his hair was out of control and it was great to do this for charity.” Darlington foodbank, on Whessoe Road, is operated by King’s Church and is helped every Christmas by Haughton Academy, which collects food hampers. Covid-19 has seen a 40% increase in the use of this vital emergency food resource, which has been supporting approximately 410 young people and families. King’s Church is also currently supporting other foodbanks in the local area to help meet the current needs. Mrs Gill, who has never cut hair before, said, ”His hair was very soft and there was certainly a lot of it. I was quite pleased with the result. I might have a new career in the making!” Mr Palmer said, “ It is really important to do something now for the foodbanks which are really busy because of the pandemic and will be in even greater demand over the school holidays.” Anyone wishing to donate can do so at www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/haughtonacademy or visit https://www.kingschurchdarlington.org.foodbank/donations/ t·~.a.­ llWii DARLINGTON !B OROUGH COUI\ICIL Darlington 11 . 19 P artnership 2 This document was classified as: OFFICIAL I Designs for life I IIKfflSH DK:lf DESIGN DESIGN John Former Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College student Kirath nlew1s AWARDS John lewis AWARDS :2()1~ :20l:2 Ghundoo popped up on our Instagram feed this week.

I Learning & Skills new venue Study Programme learners at Learning & Skills have moved from their previous setting in Tubwell Row to a bigger and better venue on Horsemarket. Learners aged 16 to 18 now enjoy more space, better facilities and a central location in Bennet House.

Study Programmes are a range of courses for 16 – 18 year olds that develop their personal, social and employability skills, including work experience with an employer to increase their chances of gaining employment or an Apprenticeship in their chosen area. Pictured outside Bennet House are Learning & Skills Tutor Debbie Brown along with Study Programme learner Vickie Stainer. Vickie was a student at Carmel College. She has completed SETPD qualifications with Learning & Skills and is now focusing on Customer Service Level 2, with and aim of securing an Apprenticeship in that area.
