Beautiful Work This Week
XPGPHC – How can we continue to make progress in public health?
Year 9 students at XPG have embarked on their “You Give Me Fever” Expedition, which has culminated in their inaugural Public Health conference, addressing the challenges of public health amidst the cost-of-living crisis. Through three case studies examining historical and current health influences, they explored the impact of living conditions, government structures, and scientific advancements on people’s well-being.
This comprehensive analysis has also resulted in a formal report that presented key health risks for Gateshead’s residents, particularly in the context of the cost-of-living crisis. The report will be shared with the Health and Social Care Committee in Parliament.
Art takes flight at XPG!
Freya, aĀ Year 7Ā student at XP Gateshead has created a beautiful piece of work that has been awarded a place in one of the most prestigious artĀ galleriesĀ in the world. The Royal AcademyĀ is famous for showcasing new and established artists, bringing their work to a whole new audience.Ā
The Young Artists Summer show, which is open for submissions to students studying in the UK aged from 4 – 19, opens in London on the 16th July and runs until the 11th August.
Freya’s paintingĀ Mr PigeonĀ was part of the expeditionĀ ‘Do your bit’ andĀ honoursĀ the sacrificeĀ that carrier pigeonsĀ made during WW1 and has been chosen from 21,500 other submissions. A remarkableĀ achievement for a clearly talented and inspiring young artist.Ā
We’ll follow up this story when Freya’s artwork is in place at the Royal Academy!
Is Science enough to save lives?
As part of their Expedition ‘You Give Me Fever’, C28 celebrated their learning this week – complete with a gallery of their incredible artwork. They shared scientific writing about diseases and their impact on society, dating back to the middle ages.
They sold their prints to raise money for their DofE Expedition – and the content will also be made into a book later in the year!

Just a reminder to our lovely Year 6’s. You are all amazing and we are so, so proud of you all!
SATs donāt measure sport and SATs donāt measure art,
SATs donāt measure music or the kindness in your heart.
SATs donāt see your beauty, SATs donāt know your worth,
SATs donāt see the reasons you were put upon this earth.
SATs donāt see your magic or how you make others smile.
SATs donāt time how quickly you can run a mile.
SATs donāt hear your laughter or see youāve come this far,
SATs are just a tiny glimpse of who you truly are.
So sitting at your table, with a pencil and your test.
Remember SATs arenāt who you are,
remember youāre the best!
We are all so proud of each and everyone of you Year 6. Your commitment to learning this year has been amazing. You are going to smash your SATs next week! Enjoy your weekend and have lots of fun- you deserve it!

There were traitors among us in our reading revision session!
This afternoon, Year 6 were joined by a number of traitors. The traitors were challenged to purposely sabotage the reading session. The faithfuls had to use their knowledge to be confident about their decisions and challenge their team to make sure they scored the most points whilst the traitors deliberately tried to sway them so they scored the least!
They had so much fun, especially when the traitors were revealed! We had some very good traitors and lots of fun during revision!
