Gracie Rochester, a student at St Hild’s Church of England School in Hartlepool, is emerging as a prominent figure in the world of boxing. Her recent international success, securing a bronze medal while representing England’s Under-14 team, is a testament to her exceptional discipline and unwavering determination.

As part of the trust relational work, we partnered with Carr Manor Community School in Leeds and Newcastle local authority to develop the trust relational practice.

As we come to the end of another year, we want to take a moment to send our warmest wishes to all our students, families, staff, and the wider community.

Parents, please read about the end of the first term of the new school year and the end of 2024 letter to parents.

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible generosity shown by the Bostey and Feeding Families who donated gifts and food hampers to support our vulnerable families.
