Poetry in Action at Newcastle University! Today, our talented Year 9 and 10 students from Gosforth Academy immersed themselves in a powerful poetry experience hosted by Poetry by Heart at Newcastle University. A special shout-out to our brilliant Year 10 performers who captivated a packed auditorium with their heartfelt recitations, a proud moment for our school community! We were also inspired by live performances from renowned poets Daljit Nagra and Liz Berry, reminding us of the transformative power of words. The Poetry by Heart competition is launching soon - stay tuned! This event is a shining example of how we're Creating Futures through creativity, confidence, and connection. #CreatingFutures #PoetryByHeart #GosforthAcademy #StudentVoices #NewcastleUniversity #DaljitNagra #LizBerry #PoetryMatters #gosforthgroup

German exchange sparks international friendships at Gosforth Academy Gosforth Academy is hosting 10 German pupils from the Elisabeth-von-Thadden Schule from Heidelberg this week. Students get to find out what life is like in a British family and school whilst also exploring our shared cultural heritage. From Roman times and medieval castles via the industrial revolution and two world wars, we are now forging new friendships across borders with the help of a taskmaster-style competition, ice creams and sand castles. Tynemouth Priory, Beamish, Durham and York are on the agenda as well as a goodbye party at Gosforth Academy. We are already looking forward to our return trip to Heidelberg in July 2026. #GosforthAcademy #CulturalExchange #UKGermanyFriendship #StudentExchange #gosforthgroup #CreatingFutures
