Welcome to Bellingham Middle School.
I am delighted to be joining Bellingham Middle School as the Executive Headteacher for the Bellingham Partnership of schools, and to have the opportunity to work within this close-knit community in rural Northumberland.
Our school is built on strong foundations and shared values: kindness, courage, respect and excellence. These principles guide everything we do, both in the classroom and beyond, helping our pupils grow not just academically, but as thoughtful and confident individuals.
Looking ahead, I am excited by the opportunities to continue developing both schools in our partnership - building on our strengths, sharing ideas, and working collaboratively to provide the very best for every child.
While we are proud of our rural roots, we also value the chance for our pupils to look beyond their immediate surroundings and are committed to offering children the opportunity to explore the wider world, both through visits and experiences outside of the local area, and through virtual links and projects that connect them with people, places, and ideas beyond our community.
I am committed to working in close partnership with parents and carers. Strong relationships between home and school are key to ensuring that all pupils thrive, and I look forward to building those partnerships over the coming months.
Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I am looking forward to the years ahead and to all that we will achieve together.
Executive Headteacher
