Throckley Primary School

At Throckley Primary you will find a welcoming and purposeful environment, with relationships built on mutual respect. Our supportive pastoral systems help pupils to achieve beyond their expectations and develop a strong sense of responsibility for themselves, their peers and the wider world.  Throckley Primary pupils develop skills for lifelong learning.  Achievement and a 'can do' attitude are at the heart of our philosophy; we support this through nurturing pupils’ creativity, encouraging independent thinking and learning and showing that failure can be a learning opportunity.

In pre-school we provide a flexible offer for children from two-years-old.  Our Throckley Acorns playgroup for twos begins the journey through our school and children progress into our Rising 3's playgroup and then into our Nursery.  Our Playgroups and Nursery are fully integrated into our outstanding school and all Nursery children access our purposeful and empowering Early Years Curriculum which fully prepares them for the next steps in their school career and opens the doors to the wider world. 

We are a forward-thinking school which has experienced rapid improvement.  Through our work as a strategic partner for the Tyne Valley Teaching School Alliance and our research and development projects with leading universities, we aim to inspire all of our partners to work with us as an outstanding school in an outstanding learning community.
