Ahead of Remembrance Day tomorrow, we want to recognise just how proud we are of our Park View Combined Cadet Force (CCF), who represented our school with such distinction at Sunday's Chester-le-Street Remembrance Parade. Read moreπ¬π§
From our newest recruits to our senior cadets and dedicated staff, every member of the contingent wore their uniform with pride and conducted themselves impeccably.
Their commitment, respect and sense of duty were wonderful examples of the values we hold dear at Park View.
It was a privilege to see our young people playing such an important part in this special occasion for our town, honouring those who have served and sacrificed so much.
π An outstanding effort from everyone involved. You did yourselves, your families and Park View proud!
πΊ We Will Remember Them.
π€π Proud to be Park View.

Brainpower in action! π§ Year 7 & 8 tackle The 1% Club Challenge for Bebras prep.
The atmosphere was tense (and slightly competitive! π) as our Year 7 and Year 8 students went head-to-head in our very own version of "The 1% Club." This was all about sharpening those Read morelogic and computational thinking skills in preparation for the upcoming Bebras tests.
The classroom was full of focused minds grappling with some tough puzzles. Students made good use of their whiteboards to show their answers, which made for some intense moments.
A huge well done to Lucie Dodds year 7 and Millie Stonebank year 8, who absolutely smashed it and topped the leaderboards with brilliant scores of 25% and 20% respectively. What an achievement! β
But perhaps the real big winners were the number of super-sharp students who managed to take on the ultimate challenge and beat Mr Finley's 50% benchmark score! π€― It just goes to show the incredible potential and critical thinking skills of our young people.
A great effort from everyone involved. Keep up this brilliant work and problem-solving mindset- you're going to ace Bebras! πͺ #The1PercentClub #BebrasChallenge #ComputationalThinking #SchoolPride #STEM CriticalThinking LogicPuzzles FutureLeaders
ππ€ CAN YOU HELP US OPEN DOORS?
We have some brilliant young people at Park View Sixth Form/Academy of Sport with big ambitions, exceptional potential and exciting futures ahead of them.
Some are aspiring doctors, dentists, vets, lawyers and other professionals, hoping to Read moresecure places on highly competitive university courses and pursue careers that will make a real difference.
But there is one challenge we would love our community to help us overcome: access to high-quality work experience.
For students without family or professional connections in these industries, securing even a few days of experience can be incredibly difficult. For some, they will be the first in their family to go to university.
Talent and ambition should never be limited by who you know.
So we are reaching out to our wonderful Park View community, including parents, grandparents, former students, local employers and friends of the school.

Could you offer a placement, a day of shadowing, an insight into your profession or simply help us make a connection?
Sometimes, one conversation, one opportunity or one person willing to help can change the direction of a young person's life.
If you can help, however small that contribution might seem, please contact Miss Keighley, Head of Sixth Form:

Let's see what opportunities we can create together.
