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.

We are a NOT-for-PROFIT group keeping our fees low. We offer funded places. 15 hours and 30 hours available.

We are based in a modern, purpose built classroom in the Early Years section at Westerhope Primary School. We have a large outdoor play area with a wide range of equipment. We also have use of the school field, forest school area, and outdoor stage.

We have a stimulating and welcoming environment with good grades throughout and OUTSTANDING for Personal development, behaviour and welfare from our Ofsted inspection 25/4/2019.

We have lots of fun and educational toys here and my aim is to let the children who come here have as much fun as possible so that they look forward to coming here so mum and dad can go to work knowing their children are happy and safe.

We regularly visit toddler groups, soft play, little owls, gym tots, judo,music groups and the park. We also have visits to Jesmond dene as well as lots of other outings.
