Welcome to

NCEA Harry Hotspur C OF E Primary School

A note from our Headteacher

Welcome to our amazing Primary School!  We are so proud of our school, our pupils and all they achieve. Our motto – ‘achieving and growing together’ really sums up what we are about at Harry Hotspur and what a special place it is to work and learn. Our children are at the heart of all we do here at Harry Hotspur. We aim to work with you and your child to provide the best education we can, within a caring and loving environment; an environment in which your child can grow as a whole person and develop Christian values.

As a Church school we enjoy strong links with our local parish Church and the Diocese of Durham and Newcastle. Together we believe that the teachings of a Christian faith are as relevant today, if not more so than ever before. This underpins our distinctive ethos and what we teach, how we worship and how we live. We hope our website will give you a window into the life of our school, provide you with the information that you need and promote a supportive partnership between home and school, which is so vital to your child’s happiness, well-being and their educational progress.

Mr J Macfarlane, Headteacher

Our Children

Children from Emerald Class visited Amber Class this afternoon. They read their favourite picture books to us, we absolutely loved hearing the stories during our snack time, the older children had us captivated and all read so confidently! Thank you Emerald Class!

What an incredible week of activities to celebrate World Book Day, with a visit to Lilidorei at The Alnwick Garden to end the week! The children had so much fun today and even the rain did not dampen spirits as they played together on the huge play structure! The children were an absolute credit to... the school, showing care and consideration for each other at all times. There were some tired faces at school this afternoon!! Have a lovely weekend everybody!

Emerald class have had a fantastic morning enjoying picture books. We brought them (from home), looked at them, chose them, read them and shared them. We even listened to a rap about them.
