Shine
Our children in Y5 and Y6 children have the opportunity to take part in the SHINE Project with staff and students from Newcastle High School for Girls in Jesmond.
Mrs McHatton takes the children by coach to Newcastle High School for Girls where they will enjoy taking part in various activities in different subject areas, such as Biology, Philosophy and Drama. These sessions will be fun, highly practical and interactive. This initiative ties in perfectly with the WDPS Raising Aspirations Programme (RAP) as we want to inspire our children to achieve all that they can in life.
