The Izzy Burns Quartet returned for one night only to raise money for Sunderland Neonatal Unit. It was lovely to see so many friends, family and colleagues attend this event in aid of Mini Miracles. 

Mrs Logan has worked for the NCEA Trust for many years, and has always shared her love of music and performing with our pupils. 

If you couldn't make the gig but would still like to support a wonderful cause, you can donate directly to Mini Miracles Charity by following this link https://stsft.enthuse.com/mini-miracles#!/

At the Northumberland Church of England Academy Trust, we believe it is important for our pupils to see the joy music can bring throughout your whole life. Staff and members of the local community regularly have the opportunity to join in with musical performances, both for our pupils and for our own wellbeing and professional development. 

It is through this soundcloud account that we will share some of those recordings with our wider school community!
