Hello from Ford Castle Our Year 6 students are creating unforgettable memories during their residential trip.

Year 9 English pupils at Great Park Academy have been taking inspiration from the school's surrounding area for writing poetry about nature and freedom. They considered the trees, flowers, birds and natural elements within the school grounds as part of their planning process, then headed back to the classroom to write up their poems. Watch this space for the next generation of poets! #GreatParkAcademy #gosforthgroup #CreatingFutures #FuturePoets #learningoutsidetheclassroom
