Christmas at the Percy Hedley Foundation

1. Jesmond Light Switch On

Celebrations began with a Jesmond Light switch on, where the children from Northern Counties School assisted in pressing the button and lighting up dozens of decorations along Acorn Road in Jesmond. They then progressed to St Georges Church where they put on a rendition of the Nativity and lit up the big Christmas tree there.

2. Communication Day

Back for another year, NCS’s Communication Day celebrated all the different ways students and teachers communicate with one another. This was done by a Christmas themed Craft Morning, followed by Christmas Carols and hot chocolates on the field in the afternoon.

3. Christmas Panto

This year’s theme was Cinderella! And class groups had fun each taking part in the panto.

Christmas Fair

Students and staff held stalls in both the East and West sites with a variety of products available, including decorations, food and more which they had made themselves.

Summer from Medsolve also came round to deliver chocolates to students and staff, decked out in a very festive Christmas jumper.

Christmas Day Celebrations

Dom, Alastair, Kieron, and Nicky enjoyed a lovely Christmas dinner and even met the Big Man himself!

Chipchase celebrated with presents galore!

As well as Christmas, it was also Gen’s birthday in December.
