It has been a very busy summer for one of our Sixth Form pupils this summer holiday.
Michael Simm took part in the Special Olympics which were in Sheffield in August.
Michael had being training hard for the Olympics, swimming most days after school and at weekends. All of Michael’s hard work paid off when Michael came away with Gold and a Bronze medal.
We are so very proud of Michael on this massive swimming success.
This years Prom was held at The Royal Station Hotel on Thursday 13th July.
All the students looked fantastic and a brilliant night was had by all.
The selfie mirror was a big success with staff and students taken photos home with them that they will treasure for a very long time.
Thank you to everyone that has supported with the Prom this year.
The sun was out for Tweendykes Sports Day on Wednesday 12th JulyJuniors enjoyed their races in the morning which included running, egg and spoons, quiots and bean bags. Lots of fun was had by all who took part.
The children at Tweendykes School have been working hard with One Day Creative Education who works in partnership with Hull City Of Culture to create an amazing piece of art work as are of the “Puzzle Project”
The children worked creatively to explore the “Routes & Roots” theme, as well as our school theme of Holidays.
'Students from Tweendykes Sixth Form took part in £5 Blossom with Youth Enterprise. They were partnered with a company called Netopian who gave them a loan of £150 to start a business. The students worked very hard throughout the year using their employability and enterprising skills. The business was named as Craft Crazy and they held Pop Up Shops selling gifts for Christmas, Mothers Day and Easter. They also formed a partnership with Bransholme Centre so that their business can continue into the future.
Jordan Gee, Michael Simm and Jack Smith who are part of the business delivered a presentation in front of 15 other Hull primary and secondary schools and their staff at the celebration ceremony of Youth Enterprise at the Guildhall. From the profit they made they were able to repay the £150 loan and also make a donation to the James Cracknell Youth Enterprise Trust and Duchenne Charity.
Dear Parent/Carer and/or Community Member,
You will probably have heard that many schools are now forming Multi Academy Trusts and are no longer part of the local authority. Our school would like to join with a group of other schools to form a Trust called Humber Education Trust (HET).
The schools that wish to make up the new HET are:
· Maybury Primary School
· Tweendykes Special School (pending governors’ approval)
· Parkstone Primary School
· Woodland Primary School
· Clifton Primary School
· St Nicholas Primary School
· Neasden Primary School
· Ganton School
· Christopher Pickering Primary School
· Broadacre Primary School
· Gillshill Primary School
· Adelaide Primary School
This is an exciting time for our schools and a great opportunity for us to join together and create a very strong partnership. We already work closely and if we form a Trust we can work even closer and help each other even more. We want to be strong together but still be separate schools and this is what we would like to do when we form the Trust.
We want people to tell us what they think about these plans and are asking pupils, parents, staff, governors and the wider community.
On Thursday 30th March at 9.30 am at Tweendykes School we have arranged for parents and community members to come in and tell us what they think. We will also be able to answer any questions you may have.
We look forward to seeing you at this event and if you want more information you can visit our website at www.tweendykes.co.uk
Yours sincerely
Berni Moorcroft John Barnes

We have had a really lovely few weeks in school in the build up to Christmas – I have been so proud of all our pupils
Despite the bad weather the carol service went ahead with the Reverend coming to us. The choir, the nativity and all the readers did a fantastic job.
The highlight however was this year’s concert “Christmas with the Aliens”- I don’t think I can remember a concert where so many pupils shone- we really have a talented group of young people !!
From all the staff at Tweendykes I want to wish you and your families a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year- see you all in 2017 !
Yesterday we had a very special visit from Batman!!
Hull Batman paid a visit to Tweendykes to bring each of our children a selection box!! The children were so happy to see him. We would like to say a big thank you to Batman for paying us a visit and we hope you have a very nice Christmas in Gotham
Big thank you to the ISS kitchen at Tweendykes for creating Children in Need buns for our lunch on Friday!!!

On Friday 22nd September once again Tweendykes School took part in Jeans for Genes day. Children and Staff all came to school wearing their favourite jeans. We managed to raise just over £108 which will go towards a range of initiatives that improve the lives of children affected by a genetic disorder.
As part of the Hull young artist of the year sixth form students were asked to design a sculpture based on a famous person or famous people from Hull.
Michael Simm who is in his second year of sixth form picked the Beautiful South a famous music group from Hull. Michael was so proud of his sculpture and was over the moon when he won 3rd place at Hull Young Artist of the Year! Michael won £20 which he bought some solo lights for his garden at home.
Photo is of Michael receiving his award at Hull library with Head of Sixth Form Ruth Dalton and Gavin Barley school governor.
