CONSETT ACADEMY
A message from Tom Urwin, Head Teacher

Consett Academy students have fit so many fantastic achievements into this summer term and I am extremely proud of them. As always, the Y11/13 exams take up a lot of focus and the way in which these students engaged with all the interventions offered to them really was amazing to see. With Year 11/13 moving on, it was lovely to welcome our Year 6 pupils for their transition day on Thursday 6th July and it is always one of my favourite events in the calendar. Y6 students always come to us with such enthusiasm and I have no doubt that this year’s cohort will be exactly the same.
As is always the way at Consett, we have had some brilliant events going on for students and the local community. Our first ever music festival took place recently and was a roaring success. The weather (for a change) really helped and I must say a huge thank you to Miss Dodd and all the music team for their hard work in organising such a big event. Our girls Football team also did us proud by reaching the semi-final of the national competition where they were narrowly beaten by Norwich in an epic encounter. Mr Dodd has been fantastic with the girls and I know they all appreciate his hard work and commitment to the team and girls football.
The end of the academic year is nearly upon us and I wanted to thank parents/carers for all their support this year in my first full academic year as Headteacher of Consett Academy. This year has brought challenges but I feel like we are now in an excellent place and I am really looking forward to driving things even further forward in September so that our students get the best possible education.
I hope you all have a brilliant summer and the sun keeps shining!
To keep up to date with us throughout the year, follow us on social media. Each academy has their own social media platforms to show our staff, students and community what we're up to!
We want our communities, parents/carers, staff and students to feel included with our academies. We also want students to take pride in their work and their efforts within in school, so we do our best to showcase their efforts, books and activities in school.
