Pupils were captivated by Joe’s honesty, energy and enthusiasm, taking away powerful messages about believing in themselves, persevering through difficulties and turning setbacks into opportunities for growth. It was a truly memorable and inspiring experience, and we would like to thank Joe for spending the day with us and making such a positive impact on our children. 💪⭐ [PE](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/news/tag/pe) [Personal Development](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/news/tag/personal-development) [RESPECT values](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/news/tag/respect-values) [ Year 4 PGL Visit](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/news/2026-10-21-year-4-pgl-visit) [Cleveland Fire Brigade - Fire Safety Assembly ](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/news/2026-11-03-cleveland-fire-brigade-fire-safety-assembly) ### News - [Latest News](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/news) - [Newsletters & Other Letters](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/newsletters) - [Events](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/events) - [Calendar](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/calendar) ### Hardwick Green Academy Tithe Barn Road Stockton on Tees TS19 8WF 01642 677968 ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/HardwickGreenPA/) - [X](https://twitter.com/hardwickgreenpa) [![The Enquire Learning Trust](https://files.schudio.com/hardwick-green-academy-2/images/logo/Logo_orange_new_white.png)](https://enquirelearningtrust.org) © Copyright 2025–2026 Hardwick Green Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://hardwickgreenacademy.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
