This week we have had the British Army 🇬🇧 stem liaison team in school running sessions for 120 of our year 9 learners. They were given a number of tasks to crack to find the identity of the "hacker". A really engaging session which was enjoyed by all.

Today we had @hayleyhassall from @bbcnewsround speaking to the Year 10 group about her career and how she built the confidence to become a leading journalist. There were lots of fantastic questions from the students who were particularly interested in her undercover work.

Y8 & 9 thoroughly enjoyed the tennis course at Hale Lawn Tennis Club

Adam Horner from McHale Sports came into speak to our Year 10's who aren't out on placement this morning about his career journey and the growth mindset. Really inspirational talk which has given the learners lots of ideas of how to make their own future journey a success!

Don't forget that this Saturday sees the return of our annual Cest Fest.

Today has been a busy day in school with the students who will be joining us in September joining us for the day. We can't wait to see them all back in September.

North Cestrian School we had a wonderful time at Cest Fest today! #allthesmiles

Tomorrow we will be holding our Year 7 and 8 sports day. It looks like it will be warm so please ensure you are prepared with suncream, a hat and water to drink. We hope it will be another excellent event. Good luck to all those who will be competing.

This Friday Mr Stobbs will be leaving North Cestrian after twenty one and a half years. Today was his last Year 7 & 8 Sports Day. It was excellent to see so many students taking part and enjoying the day. Well done to everyone who took part.

We had @sjasavealife in school this morning training all of the Year 10 students basic 1st Aid as part of the #bbcsavealife campaign. The students learnt CPR, how to use a #defib and also what to do if someone is choking. An invaluable session for all.

We had a great time teaching the young people at North Cestrian School today. Great that young people have the opportunity to learn basic but life saving skills for free through our campaign with BBC Manchester #LearnFirstAid #CPR #Choking #AED #Defib #FirstAid #GreaterManchester

Tomorrow is our Year 9 & 10 Sports Day. We aim to get started at 12.30pm. Please keep an eye out for the weather and make sure you are prepared. This will be Mr Stobbs’ final Sports Day at North Cestrian.

Look out for these deals over the summer.

Setting up for Mr Stobbs’ last sports day at North Cestrian.

On our final day of the school year our students have been entertained by a number of school musicians. This has been an excellent way to finish off the year. Well done to all musicians.

Thank you to this fabulous team for their support and hard work over the years. I will miss you all and I wish you every success for the future. ❤️

We would like to wish all of our students, staff and parents a wonderful summer break.

This week we have said goodbye to Mrs Ryland, Mrs Facchin and Mr Stobbs. We would like to wish them every success in the future and thank them for their service to North Cestrian School over the years.

Good luck to all of our students receiving their GCSE and other results today.
