We asked LCC PE teacher Mrs Cooper on her views on the upcoming clash between the top tier nations. She thought that Dylan Hartley was given a lot more responsibility and he is getting better but he needs to improve on his lineout throwing. She also thought that England are good enough to beat Wales but it will be a tight game! “I think that they will play a younger team against Wales like they did against Ireland and were very successful against them. I don’t think Manu Tugali is fit enough for the Wales game on Saturday.” *By Joseph, age 12* [ Longbenton students – we could be heroes! – Skiing Trip 2016](https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/news/2016-01-27-longbenton-students-we-could-be-heroes-skiing-trip-2016) [Melrose trip to Lake District ](https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/news/2016-04-25-melrose-trip-to-lake-district) ![Longbenton High School](https://files.schudio.com/longbenton-high-school-2/images/logo/Digital_FullCol_Hor_WhiteOut_0_0.png) ### Longbenton High School Hailsham Avenue Longbenton Newcastle upon Tyne Tyne & Wear NE12 8ER (0191) 218 9500 (0191) 270 6760 ### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/contact) - [Ofsted](https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/ofsted-reports) - Curriculum Overview - Prospectus ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/longbentonhs) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/longbentoncc) © Copyright 2016–2026 Longbenton High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
