School Prospectus

The school booklet provides information concerning Wooler First School, as required by the 1980 Education Act, for the parents of pupils who are expected to enter the school from within the catchment area, and also for other parents.

Information concerning the general arrangements in Northumberland is given separately in a County Education Booklet, copies of which are available for parents of pupils who are starting or transferring schools next September.

All parents are required by law to complete a “School Preference Form” to state their preferred choice of school destination for their children. Copies of these forms are available from school or Northumberland Local Education Authority.

Parents who reside outside the school's catchment area who wish their children to attend the school may submit an application by completing a school Preference Form (copies of which are available from the school or the County Education Office) and sending it to:
Director of Education
County Hall
Morpeth
Northumberland
NE61 2EF

The Local Education Authority will inform out of catchment parents whether or not a place at the school is available for their child. Requests from those outside the school's area for places in September should be received by the Director of Education by the preceding 27th February.
Children from this school usually transfer at the age of 9+ to Glendale Middle School, Wooler, and then at the age of 13+ to either Berwick High School or The Duchess’s High School, Alnwick.
