The School and the Community
The award of Technology College Status and the funding attached to this has made it possible to provide increased access to IT for students, young and old.
A commitment to providing for the local community through offering our facilities for use by the community. Both the Main School site and Lindisfarne Community Annexe are used as a home base for a wide range of community groups
A strong youth work programme which includes the management and running of youth clubs, youth classes and most recently, extensive support work with individuals and small groups of students within school.
A thriving and expanding Duke of Edinburgh Award provision with almost 200 students participating at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels.
The school offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities and opportunities for working within the community. Some examples are given below.
Sixth Form students have a well developed Community Service and Charities Programme, run by Sixth Form students which continues to raise outstanding sums of money for local, national and international charities.
Our Citizenship/PHSE programme has been developed in consultation with external agencies who contribute extensively to its delivery.
A successful programme of Work Experience enables students and staff to meet and work alongside the local community.
Our Extended Schools status will help us to promote a vision of educational provision which is responsive to local need. It will help to strengthen our role in the development of Alnwick as a “learning community”. It will ensure that the move to make services for children and young people to be ‘joined up’, as called for in the green paper ‘Every Child Matters’, becomes a reality.
