English tuition. Done differently at The Florence. ✨
From creative, project-based English for Years 7 & 8, to our Book Club and structured GCSE English Language programme, our English provision is designed to get students thinking, talking, reading and writing with confidence.
We’ve had such a fantastic response that many of our current groups are now full, so we’re opening new English groups for the new term.
Simply head to our website, choose your child’s year group, explore the courses available and find the programme that suits them best.

What should I do when my contact lenses feel uncomfortable?

If your contact lenses feel uncomfortable it is a sign that you need to take action. You may have some dust or dirt on your lens, so if it’s a reusable soft lens or a GP lens take it out and rinse it using the correct contact lens solution. Do not be tempted to rinse the lens in water. Inspect the lens for damage before putting it back in your eye. If the problem persists, contact your optician for advice. Daily disposable contact lenses should always be discarded on removal.

“If you see someone without a smile, give 'em yours.”

All this week we are paying tribute to Dolly Parton by playing her music at 9am and 5pm in Gosforth Central.

From filling the world with timeless melodies to putting millions of books into the hands of children through the Imagination Library. Thank you, Dolly, for showing us what it truly means to lead with love.

We’re honouring your kindness and hope it spreads a little bit bit further. ❤️
