Prudhoe Partnership
Prudhoe Partnership (pyramid) is organised on
the basis of a three tier educational system (first, middle and
high school).
However, St Matthew’s RC Primary School in the
partnership is organised as a primary school and educates children
aged 4-11. The designated secondary school to which pupils
from St Matthew’s transfer at age 11 is St Thomas More School,
Blaydon in Gateshead Metropolitan Borough authority.

Note: St Joseph's Middle School
forms part of the Hexham Partnership, but as it is
a Roman Catholic school it also takes in pupils living in
other parts of the Tyne Valley whose parents have expressed a
preference for a catholic education for their
child. However, pupils reaching High School age in
the Tyne Valley are generally expected to attend
the High school within the catchment area where they
live, therefore pupils living in the Prudhoe High School
catchment area would not be eligible for transport to the
Queen Elizabeth High School (QEHS) in Hexham. There is no right of
access to pupils of St Joseph's Middle School to QEHS in Hexham on
feeder grounds.
Reorganisation Proposals - Putting the Learner First Programme
(PLF)
Proposals on the reorganisation of
partnerships under the Putting the Learner First Programme
(PLF)can only be put forward where the capital funding
for such a reorganisation has been identified. Presently, it
is not envisaged that funding would be in place to carry out a
reorganisation of the Prudhoe Partnership until around
2017. This means that any such proposals will not be
consulted upon until around 2015. However, these indicative
dates are subject to change should funding come on stream earlier
or later than these dates.
In the meanwhile, the County Council will be
working with all schools in Northumberland to identify and
implement other methods of improving performance of pupils in our
schools.
