As you will be aware, as your child is now in Year 4, they will be moving on to the next phase of their education in September 2021. The portal for applying for Middle School places in Northumberland is now open and closes on Saturday 31st October 2020. Further information about the admissions process can be found by following the link below:

Final confirmation regarding the allocation of places is made on Monday March 1st 2021.

Due to the current situation regarding COVID-19 and the restrictions that are in place, we are unable to offer the opportunity for you to come and visit the school in person as we ordinarily would. However, in order to help you make your decision about which school to apply to, we have produced a series of presentations about Newminster which will hopefully give you a flavour of the school.

These can be accessed via the following link:

Welcome to Newminster Middle School

As you will be aware, Newminster and Chantry Middle Schools work closely together and are both popular and oversubscribed schools. We would therefore strongly advise that you indicate both schools, in your order of preference, on your application form.

If you have any questions or queries in the meantime, about either school, please do not hesitate to contact Sarah Hall on 01670 513621 or via email at [email protected].or  [email protected]
