WOW, what a night! So many outstanding performances. A big thank you to @NTMEHUK for a great evening. Feeling incredibly proud of all those who took part, especially students past and present. Cannot wait to see what else this fabulous group has in store for us.
@MBMSMaths @MardenBridge @NTMEHUK Spanish City was so lovely & festive, the kids were great! Thanks to the staff for all their extra work too! ๐
Christmas Day update.
Who would have thought that our plans to open for a few hours on Christmas Day would have gone viral? But it has.
One question we keep being asked is, โwhy?โ
A simple answer - why not.
If one person turns up and isnโt alone, then itโs worth opening the doors.
There are several staff coming in, and thatโs because they want to come in, and not because theyโve been asked to.
We are also being asked by businesses and by people as far and wide as the USA if they can donate to the day - the answer is yes.
We are asking people to contact: [email protected] and our staff in the Community Foundation will pass on the relevant details to you.
Our Community Foundation does great work in the local area, and any monies not used on Christmas Day will be used in the local area and not swallowed up in the day-to-day running of a football club.
For those that arenโt already aware, the club will be opening its doors from noon until 3pm on Christmas Day for anyone who would like to call in.
Anybody is welcome, whether you're home alone or want to get out of the house with the family for a couple of hours.
Up the Magpies!
Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay.

We can all help to prevent suicide by starting the conversation and creating a culture of openness, understanding and support.

Remember, it is not always obvious when somebody needs help.
Nobody goes into teaching to become rich but, equally, nobody goes into it to become progressively poorer. 40,000 teachers left last year and, if the recommended 6.5% pay increase isn't offered, the floodgates really will open over the next year or two. It's desperate.
