Night Exercise Gateshead Kestrels Gateshead Kestrels: based at Cedars Academy Cedars Academy prides itself on a variety of opportunities available for pupils outside the classroom. Many of these opportunities are linked with sporting activities delivered through the Gateshead Kestrels. Every week pupils can join in with after school clubs such as swimming, football, wall-climbing, trampolining, Boccia and athletics. Students are provided with opportunities for individual participation and competition as a team player. Students and young adults who attend after school sporting clubs are considered members of The Gateshead Kestrels; this membership also extends to young people with physical and other needs in mainstream schools. Throughout the year Kestrels members go away for weekends to represent the Academy or the region in regional or national sporting competitions. During the school holidays a Kestrels Play Scheme operates at Cedars Academy offering a diverse range of experiences for children and young people across the borough.
