I am extremely privileged to be the headteacher of such an amazing community focused school. I hope our school website gives you a snapshot into the learning experience at Hexham First School and captures why our school is such a special place.

We are situated in the beautiful market town of Hexham. We currently have 70 pupils on our roll. We aim to provide an exciting, motivating and high quality education for every child in our care. Our staff are well-qualified, experienced and reflective practitioners – constantly looking to improve our provision so that our children are prepared for the challenges of the 21st century. We have an unwavering commitment to improving the life chances of our disadvantaged children through educational achievement so that they have the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life. Our school character values known as 'The Hexham Way'  permeate all subjects as well as the general school ethos. These values are modelled by our whole school community so we can promote the development of them in our children.
 
We look forward to meeting you.
Mrs Overton

We are very proud of our recent Ofsted Inspection in 2022. Our wonderful school was judged to be a good school , we think the following comments from Ofsted really reflect our school.

“Pupils like coming to this school. They are happy in lessons and enjoy learning. Playtimes and lunchtimes are friendly and sociable. Pupils can choose from a wide range of active or quiet activities. Pupils feel safe because they know that the staff care about their welfare.”

“The school provides a wide range of sporting and cultural activities to widen pupils’ horizons. Opportunities for community involvement develop pupils’ sense of citizenship.”
