The Curriculum

Linking Art with History
George Stephenson’s Birthplace and Childhood home now owned by The National Trust is a significant landmark to the history of Wylam.  Children have made sketches of the cottage and created watercolour paintings.

The Outside Classroom
We use the outside area for children to look at plants and animals in the environment. This photograph shows the children collecting and recording their data.

The School welcomes the Prudhoe fire brigade team to visit the school and give each class a talk on Fire Safety. The visit also incorporates learning about the equipment on the fire engine as well as allowing the children to try it out for themselves. This photograph shows a potential recruit!
