It is my pleasure to welcome you to our school's website. Northcote School has existed on the present site since 1886, the new school building opened its doors to pupils in September 2000. In recent years we have added a series of extensions to our facilities due to the growing demand for places and to enrich our curriculum provision.
Northcote School provides a friendly, caring learning environment in which every child is encouraged to develop their fullest potential both as people and as learners. Our excellent results speak for themselves and these have been achieved over time by the highly dedicated and supportive staff team. I trust that this website provides you with the information you require.
If you are considering applying to school for a place for your child I would strongly recommend that you phone school and arrange a visit. We would love to share our school with you on a face to face basis. Northcote School is a school community at the heart of the local community and we both benefit from and contribute in many ways to the local area and its people.
In the school’s own words, from the school website.
