Educational Information

Northumberland Day presents a real opportunity for teachers to plan lessons that link the National Curriculum to Northumberland’s past and present, to create a sense of place for pupils, help build links with the wider community and support the role of young citizens within it.

To assist with this, the downloadable Education Flyer offers some ideas of what Northumbrian primary schools could do and also gives a deputy head’s view on why focusing on this type of activity was so valuable for her pupils.

We have also created a 2018 Northumberland Day Education Pack in which you will also find two competitions – one to win a class trip to a very special landmark and another which could see one of your pupils’ designs being turned into a Royal Mail stamp!

Entries for these competitions should be submitted by the closing date of June 1, 2018.

If you need further inspiration, you can take a look at the Ideas for Northumberland Day that we have on this website, to help those wishing to participate.

Finally, don’t forget that we shall be presenting one school with the Jill Bradbury Award for the Most Inspiring School’ – one of our super-special ‘Northumbie Awards, made by local fused-glass artist, Helen Grierson.  The entry forms for Northumbie Awards are available from May 1 2018 and will be found at this website.
