Virtual Tour

Our school building is small and perfectly formed!

 In the beginning the classrooms all opened out into a square open-air cloister around a central garden.  Now the cloister is double glazed and carpeted, while the garden itself has benches so that it can be used as an outdoor classroom when the weather is warm enough.  Our Lady’s Quiet Garden is a sheltered spot with frogs, birds and mini-beasts making their home there. A statue of Our Lady stands in its centre and a stone bird bath is our reminder of our well-loved school caretaker, Mr Trevor Ridley.

     

 

 

 

   

Our school is situated

in the heart of Hexham

just opposite the Sele Park

and within walking distance of all of the town’s facilities.

We are safely tucked away

at the top of the lane between

St. Mary’s church and Burnbrae doctor’s surgery.

You will see our front

entrance as you come

up the lane.

       
     
     

The children’s entrance is

at the bottom of the school yard, next to the Nursery.

As you come in you will see displays of children’s work..  

...and information

about what they are learning at the moment.

     
     

Our hall is regularly used

for Assemblies, P.E. lessons, clubs,meetings and many,many morethings.

Here you can see it set up

ready for lunch to be served.

corridors, in the classrooms…

Small group lessons take place the upstairs music room for parentsand children.

Whole class lessons

The Activity room is used for a variety of activities by all classes.

Our classes  are named after

the saints who brought

Christianity to Northumberland......

You will see their names

Year Four children chose the

names for each class.

They wrote something to

describe who they were

and why they are

important for us today.
