Our children would like to share the following about our school, as they want the right person to join our Fordley Family:
* “Fordley is fun! I’m quite new but Fordley has always treated me as part of the family. Fordley is just a genuinely nice school, and the teachers always make learning exciting, so you want to find out what you are going to be doing next.” – Y6
* “Everyone at Fordley treats the pupils brilliantly and really care about us. If we ever have a problem, we know they will always listen and help, and they want the very best for us in our learning. We work really hard and love discovering new things together.” – Y4
* “Fordley is special. Just as special as Newcastle United! I love all the art, sport and the different activities we get to do. I am going to stay here forever!” – Y1
