Thank you for taking the time to look at our school website. Hopefully, it will give you a sense of the excellent work that takes place in our school community and our commitment to ensuring that students thrive and flourish.
The school has a long history that dates to 1599 when Queen Elizabeth I bestowed the Charter on the people of Hexham, to deliver education that would provide an Outstanding eagerness to promote good learning . From that original intention we derive our school ethos of respect, engage, and aspire. We are committed to helping our young people thrive and flourish.
