West Jesmond is a truly unique school with a long history of successfully providing the highest quality education in Jesmond since 1901. In that time there have been many changes to education and indeed our wonderful school building but throughout the past 111 years we have always prided ourselves in making our children feel special and nurtured their talents in all areas of the curriculum.

Nuture and Nature - Our Unique Nursery

West Newcastle Academy Nursery provides space and time for children to develop a deeper way of learning.

By exploring learning in small groups and in many different contexts we will ensure every child has many opportunities to learn in ways that best match their interests and abilities.

They are encouraged to be curious, to ask questions and to learn from one another.

Please contact the school office for more information and to make an appointment to look at our unique setting.

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

Benton Park Primary school is your school. Whether a pupil, a parent, a grandparent, a carer, a friend, a colleague or a visitor; here regularly or not, I want you to feel welcome. And as a pupil, I want you to feel not only welcome, but happy, safe and included in our school.
