Our aim at Dinnington First School is to provide a happy, stimulating environment where children will be encouraged to co-operate wholeheartedly with other children and staff who will help them to develop fully their individual, intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual potential.

To this end we shall ask parents to work with us so that together we may promote the growth of respect for one another and care for the physical environment as well as the attainment of the highest possible academic standards.

Occupying a key position in the west of Newcastle, we reflect the rich cultural and social mix present in our area of the city. Our school accommodation is a large, modern building with generous, natural, outdoor space and extensive sports areas.

The immediate surroundings and wider community benefit all our children as they study the National Curriculum. Our logo is an excellent representation of our school community: a world for many varied people working together.

Overview

Newcastle College is the largest FE provider in the North East. It also offers more courses across a wider subject area than any other college in the region.

At Newcastle College, we aim to give our students an exceptional learning experience.One that is not purely based on theory but one which has an active element of on-the-job training. After studying at Newcastle College, you will be in the perfect position to find employment or to continue onto higher education.

We will nurture each child through their individual learning journey, to develop tolerance, resilience and a thirst for knowledge which will prepare them for the wider world.

The Children and Families Act 2014 requires each local authority in England to appoint at least one person for the purpose of discharging the local authority’s duty to promote the educational achievement of its Looked After Children (LAC) and Young People (LAYP). The Virtual School head teacher (VSH) leads on this and the Virtual School is the support service for undertaking this role in supporting the education of all our looked after children and looked after young people.

You are at the heart of everything we do. We are continually investing in our campus, facilities and opportunities, to make sure you have the best experience possible.

This is reflected in high levels of student satisfaction:

Our nursery will be open for 3-4 year olds and we are currently full with a waiting list for 23-24.

At Walbottle Academy, our approach to education recognises that outcomes are paramount and also allows children to gain experiences and values which prepare them fully for life.

We provide after school support for Primary aged students which revolve around different degree subjects students may not of had the chance to learn about before (e.g chemistry, Ancient Civilisations) This also covers maths and English support. For Secondary school students, we provide 1-1 support, as well as free access to chromebooks, free printing, and resources such as revision guides. We have a team of staff and volunteers with different subject specialties.

We are still part of the Gosforth Schools' Trust and are part of the Gosforth three tier Pyramid.
