| The future of schools in Hexham |
Hadrian Learning Trust are proposing to bring together Queen Elizabeth High School and Hexham Middle School to create a single 11-18 Secondary school.
Corbridge Middle School is a successful school and we pride ourselves on the highly effective relationships we have developed with our partnership schools: we are fully committed to maintaining these. As a rural middle school, with small rural feeder first schools, we prefer the 3-tier model as we can see first-hand that this provides the best educational journey, to maximise our pupil’s achievements and support the communities that live in these areas. As a middle school we are able to provide specialist teachers and facilities to support the children’s learning in greater depth than in the primary sector. We are proud of the fact that a large proportion of our pupils - over a third - choose to join us from outside of our catchment area. The numbers of pupils in the school has increased by nearly 20% in the last 3 years: we believe this is due to the increasing recognition of the overall educational experience provided by us for our middle school aged pupils. We are determined to continue to offer all parents the choice of a great first and middle school education and we also remain fully committed to ensuring the best educational offer is provided for the whole of our Hexham Partnership.
It will not surprise you that we do not agree with the ways in which Hadrian Learning Trust are proposing to achieve their three key objectives. We want to clearly understand the views of everyone so that our response takes into account our most important stakeholders – our children, our staff and our parents. Please try and come along to one of the drop-in sessions listed below to find out more about what this change in age range may mean for our students, our school and the other schools in the Hexham Partnership:
