Vital buildings could lay the foundations for a strong future in North Shields, but government funding holds the key.

A film made for Norham Community High School in North Shields as part of a central government funding application to help rebuild the school as a technical college. The film highlights some of the social problems of the area but moves onto the business partnerships which have been developed. The film then looks at the academic prospects for students of the college and details of why and how a new college building is needed. Includes views of pupils at school and in classrooms as well as interviews with members of staff and local government.

Educating the North East

Schools and colleges make the most of the fresh opportunities the new millennium brings.

For generations schools in the North East have prepared young people for careers in heavy industry, coal mining or the merchant navy. But with a change in the employment landscape towards the end of the 20th century educators have had to innovate to find new ways to prepare students for unpredictable futures and broader horizons.
