About Norham St Ceolwulfs CofE Controlled Primary School

If you're looking for a school where parents feel strongly positive, Norham St Ceolwulfs CofE Controlled Primary School is worth a close look. In the most recent Parent View survey, every single one of the 17 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's a 100% recommend rate, which is an unusually strong signal. The school is also heavily oversubscribed relative to its size: it has capacity for 70 pupils but currently only 26 on roll, so while there is space, the fact that those who are there feel so positive suggests a tight-knit, well-regarded community. Parents reported that their children are happy and feel safe, with 53% strongly agreeing that their child is happy and 76% strongly agreeing that their child feels safe. Concerns are dealt with properly according to 47% who strongly agreed, and 71% strongly agreed that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. The school is a Church of England primary in Northumberland, led by headteacher Gary Hilton, and it includes a nursery provision for children aged three and up.
