This time of year means different things to different people - whether you celebrate Christmas, another tradition, or simply enjoy some well-deserved downtime, we hope it brings you joy and peace. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. Whatever your plans, take time to relax, recharge, and spend moments with those who matter most. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, on the 5th of January 2026! #SeasonGreetings #HappyHolidays #Community #EnjoyTheBreak #GosforthGroup #creatingfutures

Spreading Christmas Cheer in Our Community At Gosforth Academy, we're proud to have brought a little festive cheer to some of our local senior citizens this holiday season. Our Sixth Form students stepped into the role of Santa's helpers, carefully wrapping gifts, while the Food Department prepared delicious Christmas cake to accompany them. To make the deliveries extra special, Santa was joined by members of our school choir and chamber ensemble, who sang carols as the gifts were handed out. It was another heart-warming and successful Christmas delivery from the team - spreading joy and community spirit to those around us. We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! #GosforthAcademy #gosforthgroup #CreatingFutures #Spreadingjoy #CommunityEngagement

Students Donate Nearly 600kg to Newcastle West End Foodbank! Our students have once again shown their commitment to supporting the local community by donating an impressive 596 kilograms of food, personal hygiene items, and baby products during their annual appeal for Newcastle West End Foodbank. A spokesperson for Newcastle West End Foodbank expressed their gratitude, saying: "We are incredibly grateful for the amazing support you have offered us and would be unable to provide the services we do without donors like yourselves. Your 596kg donation has provided approximately 149 individuals with enough food for at least three days. That is an incredible achievement!" Our Deputy Principal, Mr Snowdon, commented: "We are immensely proud of our students and staff for their compassion and generosity. Their efforts will make a real difference to vulnerable communities at a time when support is needed most." A big thank you to our generous students and staff, and everyone involved, for showing such compassion and generosity. #CommunitySupport #GosforthAcademy #FoodBank #MakingADifference #GosforthGroup #CreatingFutures
