Challenge Wednesday is all about learning new skills, working with new people, discovering new interests and having a fun time.
The activities are for year 7 students only. We try to offer activities which are not available within the main curriculum, giving students the opportunity to enrich their learning and to work with people from the community rather than teaching staff.
Challenge Wednesday activities take place every Wednesday afternoon from 2.20pm until 3.30pm and each one lasts one half term (approx 6 weeks), meaning each student will participate in 6 activities across the school year. Many of them are based in school and the Sporting Club – with swimming at Concordia Leisure Centre in Manor Walks. The tutors, facilitators and coaches for all the activities come from the local community – dance and creative arts companies, NUFC and Active Northumberland. Activities are further supported by Learning Support Assistants and Sixth Form students in the classrooms with a team of school pastoral staff acting as roving supervisors across all the groups.
