Some of our Year 11 students received their Maths results this week and the results were above what had been expected.  Many of our students achieved grades higher than those their teachers had thought they would achieve.  Our Maths teachers under the leadership of Mrs Clarkson are to be congratulated.  The Year 11 students have demonstrated a fantastic work ethic and take their exams very seriously.  We applaud them for this wonderful set of results.

Invention and discovery were the themes of Science and Engineering week 2013. At Staindrop every year group took part in activities to highlight the week. From 3D pictures of Mars to investigating the habitats of mini-beasts, Miss Johnson Science teacher had worked hard to ensue that exciting lessons were enjoyed by all. 

Students in Year 7 discovered how some of our greatest inventions came from the natural world and with some fantastic creatures to learn from, Year 7 had a lesson out of the ordinary!

Staindrop students performed Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat to packed audiences this week.  The months of hard work and rehearsals paid off with a highly successful show.  Mr Towers, Inclusion Manager and Mr Priestley, Head of Music organised one of the most successful shows Staindrop has ever seen.

Mr Flint, Head teacher thanked staff, students, parents and all volunteers for their hard work.  Events like this demonstrate the strength of community spirit at Staindrop school and create memories which students will never forget.
