Children may join ‘First Steps’ at NPS from the age of 3 years. ‘First Steps’ is an exciting and colourful nursery with excellent resources and well qualified staff who look after the needs of each individual. At age 4, children make the easy step into School where they experience many ‘steps to success’.

Newcastle School for Boys is a school that caters for boys from 3-18. All of the boys who enter Early Years are part of our School community.

Independent School age 3-18

Early Years at Westfield has a welcoming and creative atmosphere and there is a constant buzz of purposeful activity. We aim to broaden the children's experience, excite their curiosity, encourage their individuality and provide opportunities for them to develop happily in all areas.

Dame Allan's Schools provide independent education from aged 3 to 18 years of age. 

We are unique in the region as the only school following the pioneering Diamond Structure.  In the Junior School and Nursery boys and girls learn together.  At the age of 11, they move into our single sex Boys' and Girls' Schools where they are taught separately leading up to their GCSE examinations.  When the students begin their A-level studies, they move into our co-educational Sixth Form.
