💫 Celebrating Student Success at the UKMT Senior Team Maths Challenge! On Thursday 27th November, a team of our talented students proudly represented the college at the UKMT Senior Team Maths Challenge at Durham Sixth Form Centre. Our team - Alexander Brimer, Enoch Asaolu, Minh Bui and Martyna Flisikowska - were selected after achieving outstanding results in the individual Senior Maths Challenge earlier this term. In the morning, students took part in a series of lectures delivered by maths lecturers and PhD researchers from Durham University, before tackling the main team challenge in the afternoon. Competing against schools and colleges from across the North East, they worked collaboratively to solve a range of demanding mathematical problems. 💡 The team performed brilliantly and were commended for both their exceptional teamwork and mathematical ability. Well done to all four students for representing NSFC with such dedication and enthusiasm - we are incredibly proud🎉 #NSFC #Alevels #maths #GoFurther

Yesterday, our Uniformed Services students visited Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service HQ in Sunderland for an incredible hands-on experience! They took part in a series of fitness challenges that real fire service recruits must pass, including: 🔥 A timed mechanical build while wearing gloves 🔥 Running with heavy equipment 🔥 Navigating a "rat-run" maze in full kit and blindfolded to simulate zero visibility in smoke-filled environments Under the guidance of Watch Manager Adam Robinson and the firefighting training team, students worked in groups and got a true insight into the physical and mental demands of the role.

Newcastle Sixth Form College triumphs at the Regional Bar Mock Trial for the first time ever and make their way to the national finals. Students from Newcastle Sixth Form College, took on all-comers from across the North East in a criminal trial competition, and walked away as the regions best performing team, and walking into the national finals, which will take place at the Royal Courts of Justice in March 2026. This was the sixth forms first ever attempt in the competition and they beat the regions leading schools and other colleges to secure the title. The competition is the largest and longest running of its kind, involving hundreds of schools and thousands of students each year. Congratulations to Noah Hennesy, Airah Muhashir, Ben Widmer, Ella Freestone, Ella-Mae Cox, Rosalie Wong, Jade Clarkson, Joseph Hynes, Katie Lauderdale-Cheel, Lucy Billany, Oliver Smith, Sarah Svachova, Sienna Keogan, Deborah George, Keziah Lartey, Logan Sewell, Mason Fiddes and Sammy Serban. The team were amazing throughout the day, showing great maturity, skill and specialist knowledge. Their confidence grew throughout the trials, so the overall award as best performing team, and the chance to represent the North East in the national finals was well deserved. A special thanks to Jenny Adams our Personal Development Coach who gave up her weekend to attend and support the students. The Bar Mock Trial involved 15-18-year-olds taking on the main roles found in a criminal trial - such as prosecutor, defendant, and witness - with the cases specially written by legal experts. They competed against opposing teams from other schools in real court rooms, with the support of judges and practising barristers. The NSFC students who participated in the competition have been part of our Bar Mock Trial enrichment, with the support of Jonathan Beaufort-Jones and the whole team went to the regional heats which were hosted by Newcastle Crown Court.
