This year’s Active Sunderland BIG Walk will take place on Sunday 1st October 2017, at Herrington Country Park. This year, there really is something for everyone with a choice of 3 different circular routes all starting and finishing at Herrington Country Park. It’s the perfect chance to get off the beaten track and discover some of Sunderland’s finest but least well known countryside.

Kepier Sports Academy have launched a school newspaper which has been put together by the students. The newspaper team decided on the type of stories to include, interviewed people themselves and even agreed on the name, fonts and colours of the final issue. The plan is to create a new issue every term at first, however if we have more to write about then we may need to move to half-termly issues. So, if you have anything you want to talk about - a school-related issue, an achievement, an event - write about it and be part of the school newspaper.

Over three nights this week Kepier hosted it's annual school show, this year the wonderful 'Rock of Ages'. In front of an audience of between 150 - 200 each night, learners from right across our year groups - including Year 11's who have just left us - performed a two hour show filled with great songs and even better performances! Over 100 learners, including cast and back stage staff, took part in what is very much a staple part of our school year and much loved by the local community. Head of Music John Hall said "all those involved, both on stage and behind the scenes, should be proud of their commitment and performances. Rock of Ages is a great show and they certainly did it justice! Many thanks to everyone, both learners and staff involved, who made the three nights so memorable."
