Most of the schools have worked together successfully over a number of years. These partnerships have developed through Education Action Zone work, Specialist School status work and transition activities.
All the schools have offered aspects of the Extended Schools core offer and across the cluster parents can access Childcare and parenting support. An adult learning programme is on offer and all of the schools provide a whole range of after school activities.
Holiday provision is provided by Gateshead’s Play Service and both Bede Primary and Thomas Hepburn have extensive community provision.
