We are saddened to learn of the passing of former Chair of Governors, June Salmon. Our thoughts are with her family at this difficult time.

Thumbs up if you had a great time at our Science and Technology Week 👍 A big thank you to all you took part. The enthusiasm and inquisitiveness of the students was great to see.

Can you work out what our nature cam placed in the school grounds at the Senior School captured this week?

Some fantastic 'Battle Bugs' were created today during the Technology aspect of our Science and Technology Week. Well done to the participants who designed and then made their models.

Maths and engineering were the topics for today's excellent Science and Technology Week activities. Paper plane making and testing, followed by 3D model building!

Another great day of hands-on activities as part of our Science and Technology Week. Today's subject was physics and included flame testing, rocket launching and bridge building!

What a great start to our Science and Technology Week with a day of biology activities. One day down, four to go 😀

Our Year 6 pupils finished their time at the Junior School with a fun celebration of sport. Enjoy your summer.

Was a pupil at Dame Allan's from 1967 - 1974. Wonderful education, set me up for life!

Robust curriculum, excellent care and fantastic teachers.

My daughter was only at Dame Allan's a year but in that year she achieved so much from a dedicated team of professionals I cannot fault and thank enough. My daughter attended Sunderland High School and was mid year 10 when it was announced to everyone's surprise in Feb 16 that the school was to close that summer. It was very much to the credit of Dr Hind and the Board of Governors who worked tirelessly to come up with a solution that would accommodate all of the pupils to complete their GCSE's on the same curriculum. Bearing in mind this meant huge changes to Dame Allan's finding teaching staff and adapting their timetable to accommodate the kids, it was quite a tall order in just a matter of months. Everything was done to make sure the kids were fully integrated and despite there being a few little issues at the start (which were resolved quickly), my daughter loved the school facilities and the quality of the education. Personally I cannot fault the education which has been superb and the teaching staff's communication always first class and willing to go that extra mile to help the kids achieve their very best. Would I then recommend Dame Allan's even based on a year? 100% yes; absolutely fantastic level of education and support for your kids. Again, I would like to pass on my sincere thanks for everything you did for Kayleigh; the dread and unknown we faced with School closure was devastating but I actually truly believe that she was enriched by sitting Year 11 with Dame Allan's in the end.

My daughter has come on so so well since joining nursery in September. I could not be more pleased.

Great school my 2 children attend this school and only have great things to see about it and there school work says it all

Fabulous schools excellent staff the best Newcastle upon tyne.

Can't thank this school and all of the staff enough for setting me up in life for not only my education and learning but also for finding my oldest and truest friends for life xx

As an old Allanian I loved going to Dame Allan's and words cannot express how proud I am that my son will be joining the Dame Allan's family this September. The Junior school is truly amazing!
