Hexham Priory School
The brand new building for Hexham Priory School in Hexham, built
under the Putting the Learner First Programme 9PLF), has now been
completed and staff and pupils moved into their new facility in
September 2009.
Atkinson House School
Work has now begun on the construction of a new building on the
site of Atkinson House School in Seghill, near Cramlington.
The new building will house vocational facilities and workshops to
enable students in Years 10 and 11 to follow programmes of study in
motor vehicle maintenance, I.T. and construction. The
cuirrent national curriculum qualifications will continue,
allowing flexibility to match programmes of study to each
individual student's needs and aspirations.
The school will expand its number of planned pupil places from
40 to 80 from September 2010 when the new building is planned to
open. This will widen opportunities for young people in
the county who may currently be in mainstream schools and will
enable some students who are currently being educated outside
of the county to return to their own communities and reduce
travelling times.
