Welcome to Barley Mow Primary School

Welcome
to our website, this will provide some useful and some essential information about our flagship building and school.

At Barley Mow, we value the partnership between school and home, which helps to develop confident, happy and secure children, one of the many areas recognised as outstanding in our last Ofsted inspection. We always put our children first and treat them as members of our extended family, where every person is valued but is also responsible for everything they do. Together we can make a huge, positive difference to their lives.

We believe that all of our children are capable of great things and by working together, we can help them achieve their goals. This website is an essential means of communication between all of our partners. It is the primary source of information for parents and children alike.

Mr D Hewitson - Headteacher

BIKE SECURITY MARKING

Northumbria Police will be attending school at 3.30pm on Wednesday 1st February to offer free security marking to bikes and scooters. This offer is for children’s bikes and parent’s bikes as well and is FREE OF CHARGE. A reminder that children (who do not have their Level 2 cycling proficiency) must be supervised riding their bikes/scooters and must wear safety helmets.

SCHOOL REOPENS TO PUPILS MONDAY 23RD JANUARY

Repairs and drying out to the building have been inspected this afternoon (Sunday 22nd January) and we are pleased to confirm that as of the morning of Monday 23rd January, we are back in business. Some of the replacement carpeting is temporary, as getting colours matched could not be achieved at short notice, but this will be done as soon as possible. The Main School Hall will remain out of use for the immediate future – probably until half term – so FilmClub and the Newcastle United Football Foundation course will be cancelled until we get the hall back. Once again, we are sorry for the disruption to our children’s education and everyone at school is REALLY looking forward to getting back to normal.

Happy New Year!

Well, we’re back and raring to go – ish! :-)

The start of this year brings a new Scooter Pod next to the children’s bike shelter, it might look like a large purple mushroom but it’s custom made to store scooters - not bikes!
