A huge congratulations to a group of our talented students who have been taking part in an exciting competition with National Grid’s North Sea Link.
The Sea Link team partnered with Northumberland County Council and The Fifth Point Diving Centre to inspire students at our school to design a series of educational signs to be placed along a stretch of coast in the southeast of the county.
Eight prizes have been presented to the group of Year 9 and 10 students after they each submitted artwork representing their thoughts and views on the beaches and marine life in the local area, with five winning images chosen from the entries to illustrate the signs.
Five signs will feature work by students Katie, Ryan, Robbie and Josie. Each have been presented with Amazon vouchers courtesy of North Sea Link as a prize. Three runners up, Joe, Aiden and Adam, will also receive vouchers from the county council.
North Sea Link Site Manager Mike James said: “The students at Bedlington Academy really embraced this challenge and we’re really proud to work with local organisations to display their talent for all to see with these informative and inspiring signs.
