Welcome to Our School

Wark C of E Aided First School is situated in the small village of Wark.
The catchment area for the school includes the villages of Birtley, Simonburn & Stonehaugh and the surrounding farms and hamlets. The First School is an integral part of the local community. Wark C of E First School caters for the educational needs of pupils aged 3 to 9 years. We also place great importance on the children’s personal development and well-being. There are currently 31 pupils on role divided into two classes. The school incorporates a a thriving nursery. The nursery which is ran alongside our reception with Mrs Mckay provides 3 and 4 year olds with an excellent nursery education. |

Wrap around care is also provided here at Wark First School. We offer care from 8am - 5.30pm everyday.
The school works with other schools in the area on joint projects and has regular contact with the Middle school. From September 2010 we are working in collaboration with Greenhaugh First School enabling both schools to share a Headteacher.
Children from Wark C of E First School usually transfer to Bellingham Middle School at 9 and then to Haydon Bridge High School at 13, unless you decide to send your child elsewhere. We ensure that Year 4 children visit the Middle School in their last term so they become familiar with their new school building and meet some of their new teachers and their new classmates before they arrive in September. Year 4 children also have the opportunity of taking part in a residential visit during the summer term with their peers from our partnership schools.
Information concerning the general arrangements in Northumberland is given separately in a County Education booklet, copies of which are available in school.
