I am extremely proud to be able to introduce myself to you as the Head teacher of Morpeth First School, locally known as Goosehill. We are a two form entry, mainstream first school for children aged from 3 to 9, including an integrated nursery, and we currently have 330 children on our roll.
Our aim for every child is that they feel treasured, courageous and empowered every day. Our talented team is passionate about providing children with the knowledge and skills to help them to be confident and resilient in a rapidly changing world, welcoming parents as partners on this journey.
Children's unique characters are encouraged to evolve and are celebrated on a daily basis enabling them to flourish at every opportunity.
