About Us

Cambo First School is a good school which caters for the educational needs of pupils in the 4-9 age range. There are presently 43 pupils. [June 24] The pupils are organised into two classes. The first class has Reception and Year 1  children. The second class has Year 2, 3 and 4 pupils. There are  17 children in class one and 26 children in class two. It is a traditional village school in an attractive setting with large playing fields. There are two classrooms, a group room and a separate hall. We have an outdoor classroom and are blessed with wonderful educational/physical grounds. The community is widespread, drawing pupils from several villages.

At 9+ pupils normally transfer to Morpeth Chantry Middle School and subsequently to The King Edward Vl High School. Children can also transfer to Newminster Middle School or Rothbury Middle and then to King Edward Vl High School. Parents may also consider other schools in Ponteland e.g. Ponteland Primary Academy; Coates Endowed Primary School in Ponteland and then to Ponteland High School School. Currently children out of catchment attending Cambo for two years or more can apply for a place in a Morpeth partnership school, please see letter below re places and allocation of places.

The staff and governors are pleased to welcome you to Cambo First School. If your child is joining us for the first time, we look forward to beginning a happy and successful relationship. If you already have, or have had, a child at Cambo School, we are pleased to renew our partnership with you.
