"Jessica Ross, a Year 13 student, was a recipient of the Longbenton with Killingworth Rotary Club's annual Community Services award. Alongside students from George Stephenson and Seaton Burn Jessica received her award for her excellent dedication to gymnastics (now a member of the GB squad), her support of younger students within lessons and volunteering to help in school activities and fund-raising. During her time at Longbenton Jessica has been an excellent role model for other students. The school is very proud of her. Jessica is starting a degree in September at Northumbria University in Sports Development and Coaching. We wish her well ! "
