NCEA Thomas Bewick C OF E Primary

 

A NOTE FROM OUR HEADTEACHER

Welcome to Thomas Bewick C of E Primary School! We are a one-form entry campus of over 200 pupils with additional provision for the care of two-year-old children situated on Moorhouse Lane in the Hirst area of Ashington.

At Thomas Bewick, we strive everyday to adhere to our Academy LIGHT values, to love one another, include everyone, goodness is valued, hope for a bright future and be true to ourselves and be honest with others. As a result, Thomas Bewick is a happy, welcoming and friendly school where each and every child matters and their individual needs are our focus.

We encourage our learners to have a love of reading; whether it be stories, poetry or non-fiction. Storytime is sacrosanct and we feel it is imperative that the children hear a range of texts which are linked to their Enquiry for the half term. All staff are excited to share stories which they know the children will enjoy and broaden their horizons. Visit our Reading Corner to find out more! Our experienced staff make great efforts to create an environment where the children are engaged in a rich curriculum, inspired to learn further, happy and secure at school being surrounded by friends.

It is our aim that each and every child in our care can reach and surpass their potential. We welcome working closely with parents and carers to ensure that their children are achieving the best they can. If you would like to know more about our school after exploring our website, please get in touch!

ATTENDANCE

At Thomas Bewick C of E Primary School we take attendance and punctuality very seriously. We aim to have an attendance figure of 97%. Each week we will be showing the attendance percentages per class on the website and announcing on Facebook which class has won the attendance treat for the week. This is the class with the highest attendance so it is important that everyone is in school every day. 

Well done YEAR 2!

⭐️ Robinwood Update! ⭐️

After a lovely picnic lunch, the children jumped straight into their afternoon adventures - canoeing, archery, problem solving, the trapeze, the giant swing, and even caving!

We’re so proud of how they’ve supported each other and faced their fears with courage and smiles. 🌟👏

A Viking invades year 5!

Today, our Year 5 children enjoyed an immersive learning experience with a visiting Viking! They examined replica artefacts, including swords, axes, spears, and shields, and gained a deeper understanding of daily life during the Viking era. A fantastic way to make history come alive in the classroom!

What a busy week we have had at Thomas Bewick!

We started the week with a special visit from Chris Elliott, author of the New Beginning Wood series. Children from Nursery to Year 4 were captivated as he shared his newest book and inspired them with insights into the magic of storytelling and the joy of writing. 📚✨

To end the week, we came together to celebrate World Mental Health Day. Everyone wore their comfiest clothes and took part in a range of activities designed to support well-being, reflection, and mindfulness. 💚

It’s been a wonderful week of learning, creativity, and self-care.

⛳️ A great day for some of our Year 4 and 5 pupils!

They took part in the Little Sticks golf session at the Stadium of Light, where they learned new skills, had lots of fun, and even got to meet pro-golfer Lee Westwood! 🏌️‍♂️✨

Well done to all of our budding golfers – what an inspiring experience! 👏💚
