Archibald First School is situated in the heart of Gosforth and is part of the Gosforth Schools Trust.  We are a two form entry First School with a Nursery as part of our Early Years Unit.  There are no mixed age classes at Archibald First School, each class has a designated teacher and at least one shared Teaching Assistant. In addition to our classrooms we have a computing suite, two large halls, a library, a sensory room and additional group teaching spaces.

Children get one chance with their education and at St Alban's we want this to be the best.  Our vision is to ensure that every child is the best that they can possibly be.  It is a place where achievement is expected and celebrated. At St Alban’s we are proud to celebrate each individual for all that they are. We are a caring community, enjoying and excelling in the presence of God.
