On 2 March, we mark the anniversary of the passing of our much‑loved Curriculum Leader of PE and Health, Chris Scott.

Chris was an inspiring teacher, a dedicated colleague, and someone who brought energy, humour, and wholehearted passion to everything he did. His loss was felt deeply across our school community, and each year we come together to honour his memory in a way that reflects who he was: joyful, active, and committed to the wellbeing of others.

To celebrate his legacy, the PE department hosts an annual afternoon of sport and connection for our Sixth Form students — an event we affectionately call “Scotty’s Day.”

It’s a valuable chance for our Sixth Formers to come together, step away from their studies, and enjoy a range of sporting activities.

This year, as always, we are proud to use Scotty’s Day to raise funds for two charities close to our hearts:

❤️ Tynedale Hospice at Home

❤️ The British Heart Foundation

Both organisations make a vital difference to families in our community and beyond, providing care, support, and life‑saving research.

By donating, you are not only supporting two incredible charities — you are helping us honour Chris’s memory in a positive, lasting way.

Thank you for supporting Scotty’s Day.
