Kielder Primary School and Nursery is a very small school tucked away in an idyllic setting on the northern edge of Kielder Water, not far from the Scottish border. We are part of the North Tyne Schools Alliance with Greenhaugh, Otterburn and Bellingham Primary Schools, as well as Bellingham Middle School. This year, we have twelve pupils from Reception to Year 5 and a further five children in our Little Squirrels Nursery. We believe that we are very lucky to learn, play and laugh in this incredibly special place. According to Ofsted, our children are ‘a delight’, our leadership is ‘knowledgeable and committed to the school’ and our staff feel ‘happy and valued’. Our ethos is based around The Kielder Way (Knowledge, Individuality, Excellence, Leadership, Determination, Empathy, Respect) and we firmly believe that strong relationships between staff, pupils, families and wider community are the bedrock of our work. Our school is in a very exciting era of development and we are forging links with schools as far away as in Bahrain to ensure that all our children leave us with the skills, knowledge and experiences they need to become the role models of the future.
