This initiative is supported by Barclays and the Football Association. The girls have done a great job so far as 'football activators' and have already encouraged more girls to come along to our girls' football club after school on Wednesday afternoons. It is fantastic to see a group of such enthusiastic girls that are so passionate about football. Throughout the programme, they have talked openly about their experiences in the sport and have been role models for other girls around school. Their confidence continues to grow and their ability to influence others to take part in something new is evident. As part of the programme, the girls will be organising and hosting a girls' football event, held in school on Wednesday 23rd June. There will be more details about this to follow. Girls, you are doing a fantastic job - well done!** **Miss Dawson** [ Year 8 Covid positive 28.05.21](https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/news/2021-05-28-year-8-covid-positive-28-05-21) [Covid Guidance & Information - update June 2021 ](https://longbenton-high-school-2.schudio.com/news/2021-06-15-covid-guidance-information-update-june-2021) ![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/)
