Digi 1

What an absolute fabulous first full week at Pathways Digi 1 have had.  Students have embraced the pathways school ethos and excelled in their learning.  The highlights of the week were from Food technology where we were looking at hygiene and used the UV light to see how clean (or dirty) our hands were and in Learning for Life where we were discussing emotions and played emotions bingo.  Keep it up Digi 1!

About Me – Mr Mckeown 

 

"My name is Mr Mckeown and I am the Headteacher of New Bridge Pathways. I extremely enjoy working alongside pupils, students and staff, and also the wider community of Oldham; ensuring that we all work together to be the best that we can be, succeed and we really make a vital difference. Providing outstanding education and enhancing pupil and student experience are areas in which I feel extremely passionate about. 

I am passionate Liverpool FC fan and my love for football and my team began when I watched the 1986 FA Cup final. It was a Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton and Liverpool won 3-1! Sticking with the ‘80s’, growing up as child throughout the 80s I listened to Duran-Duran, A-ha, Wham and Queen. I ran home from school to catch (most days the end of) Master of the Universe, Thundercats or Transformers and the movies I loved watching on VHS included Ghostbusters, Police Academy, E.T, Tron and one of my favourites The Goonies! To this date, I still dive into some 80s nostalgia at least once a day. This includes listening to music, watching movies or wearing my synthetic shell suit!"
