Our Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expedition students have arrived safely back at school after two glorious days on expedition. Some sore feet and tired heads but a fantastic effort was given by all, teamwork, resilience, fun and friendship. Well done to all students and thanks to all staff who supported the expedition.

A big thank you to everyone who supported our Primary Dance Wiggle event a last month. We are pleased to report we raised £946 in total and school get to retain £236 for a project of our choice. Primary department are planning to use the funds to develop the outdoor provision. The cuddly toys will be distributed when we received them for everyone who took part.

Hope Wood is taking part in the Durham Music Service BIG PLAY event.
We will be joining thousands of students from across Durham participating in a music event this week.
Lots of our students will be performing in a special assembly, showcasing their talents from singing to drumming and playing ukuleles!

This ties in with Article 31 from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - Every child has the right to have rest and leisure, to engage in play activities and to participate in cultural life and the arts.
