North Korean leader Kim Jong-un claims his scientists have developed miniature nuclear warheads small enough to fit on a ballistic missile. They haven’t secured the warheads yet, but it is still a daunting thought which may make others reconsider their thoughts about North Korean military actions. North Korea have also been testing their missiles by launching them from their east coast approximately 500km into the Japanese sea. Tensions are as high as ever with North Korea possibly on the brink of nuclear warfare. *By Mathew & Harry aged 12* [ Longbenton students – we could be heroes! – Skiing Trip 2016](https://longbenton.org.uk/news/2016-01-27-longbenton-students-we-could-be-heroes-skiing-trip-2016) [Melrose trip to Lake District ](https://longbenton.org.uk/news/2016-04-25-melrose-trip-to-lake-district) ![Longbenton High School](https://files.schudio.com/longbenton-high-school-2/images/logo/Digital_FullCol_Hor_WhiteOut_0_0.png) ### Longbenton High School Hailsham Avenue Longbenton Newcastle upon Tyne Tyne & Wear NE12 8ER (0191) 218 9500 (0191) 270 6760 ### Useful Links - [Contact Us](https://longbenton.org.uk/contact) - [Ofsted](https://longbenton.org.uk/ofsted-reports) - Curriculum Overview - Prospectus ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/longbentonhs) - [X](https://twitter.com/longbentonhs) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/longbentoncc) © Copyright 2016–2026 Longbenton High School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://longbenton.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
