A very proud moment for Mr Usher on Tuesday whose son Isaac came in to deliver an assembly to kickstart out Little Inventors initiative alongside South Tyneside Council. Isaac was lucky enough to be one of the winners last year and feature in the promotional video so popped by to share his experiences with our pupils. Fingers crossed for some more future scientists from Bede Burn this year!
