Sixth Formers Explore Psychology Beyond the Classroom Our Year 12 Psychology students had an inspiring visit from the Psychology team at Sunderland University today! They gained valuable insights into what it's like to study Psychology at university, from campus life to academic expectations and took a deep dive into how memory is studied at degree level. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect classroom learning with real-world research and future possibilities Thank you to Sunderland University for sparking curiosity and ambition in our students! #PsychologyInAction #SunderlandUniversity #MemoryMatters #Post16Experience #GreatParkAcademy #FuturePsychologists #StudentOpportunities #GosforthAcademy #gosforthacademysixthform #GosforthGroup #creatingfutures

World Mental Health Day at Gosforth Academy Today, our students took a powerful step in supporting one another - sharing how they care for their mental health and encouraging open, honest conversations across the school Our glass corridor has been transformed into a gallery of thoughtful, creative, and inspiring ideas, from breathing techniques and journaling to talking with friends, listening to music and spending time outdoors Their voices remind us that mental wellbeing matters every day, and together, we're building a kinder, more supportive school community #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #StudentVoice #WellbeingInSchools #KindnessCounts #gosforthgroup #GosforthAcademy #creatingfutures

World Mental Health Day Mental health is the foundation of a healthy life, both at home and in every community, including schools. Today, we observe World Mental Health Day, a time to reflect on how we care for ourselves and for one another. This year's theme, "Access to Services Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies," reminds us that support must be available not just in clinics or hospitals, but also in the places we live and learn. At home, open conversations and emotional support can make all the difference. In schools, creating safe, inclusive environments helps young people thrive - especially during times of stress or crisis. In our communities, we must ensure that mental health care is accessible to everyone, everywhere especially in emergencies. Let's continue to: Break the stigma Support mental well-being in every space Advocate for services that reach those who need them most Because mental health is a right - not a privilege. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthMatters #AccessToCare #SupportAtHome #SupportInSchools #WMHD2025 #gosforthgroup #GosforthAcademy

We're proud to announce that Gosforth Academy has received the prestigious International School Award from the British Council! This recognition celebrates our commitment to bringing the world into the classroom, from global partnerships and cultural exchanges to a curriculum that builds international awareness and understanding. Our Principal Preit Chahal commented: "Gosforth Academy is a diverse community with over 30 different first languages spoken across our student population. We are extremely proud of our commitment to developing internationalism driven by our Languages Department but complemented by the curriculum in many other departments too. We know the benefits of opening up our students minds about what is going on across the globe and in some cases providing that first hand experience of life in another country. We feel this is an important part of the curriculum to create well-rounded students and are delighted that our work in this area has been recognised at such a high level."
