5I & 5G have been taking part in an enterprise activity led by Business Ambassador, Carole Richards. Two Business Ambassadors supported the session, both Aaron Agnew & Julia McCormack were from NCC.
Students worked in teams of 6 to design and manufacture products and agreed their roles within each company group. Students experienced being a Sales Executive, General Manager, Buyer, Production Worker, Accountant or Quality Controller.
All students developed their leadership, decision-making, negotiating, teamwork and listening skills during the session as well as learning about the world of work and employability.
Well done to the winning team from 5G: Logan Walton, Molly Bailey, Felicity Camille, Joe Dixon & Aleisha Farrier.

Firstly, stay calm! Encourage children to do as well as they can but also not to worry. SATs are an opportunity for children to demonstrate what they know and what they can do well- Make sure children get enough sleep and enough breakfast
- Encourage children to revise but don’t force them
- Try to encourage children to ask their teacher if they have any concerns or worries
- Read together. Try to encourage children to read texts associated with events or interests that are meaningful to them; for example, if they like football, read through a match programme or a newspaper report with them
The school closes for Christmas at 3.30pm Friday 19 December 2014 and students will be in lessons as normal.
School re-opens on Monday 5 January 2015.
Merry Christmas from everyone at Morpeth Chantry!
How will the curriculum be matched to my child’s needs?
It is a guiding principle of all our schools that children with SEND are valued equally and are part of a whole school approach where a child’s need is recognised and met through a varied and flexible provision throughout the curriculum.
All staff and adults are aware of those children who need additional support for any reason. Work is carefully differentiated as appropriate by the subject/class teacher to meet your child’s needs, ensuring progress. Due to highly focussed support by our Learning Support teams and an understanding of specific needs we endeavour to give your child the very best possible chance to maximise their potential and raise their self-esteem.
The progress of children with special educational needs or disabilities is monitored carefully and further support is put into place if necessary. Rigorous tracking systems inform us of any child who is falling behind and who may need further intervention. We aim to keep Parents fully involved in the process and you will be informed of any interventions or programmes which we feel would benefit your child. The SENCO will work closely with the subject/class teacher to offer further advice if necessary.
