Ponteland First School is situated in a new purpose-built facility within the heart of the attractive village of Ponteland, 8 miles from Newcastle-upon-Tyne. It serves a diverse community, attracting pupils from the local area and villages as well from Newcastle. We are a non-selective community First school providing education and enjoyment for children from Nursery through to Year 4.

Our fundamental aim is to provide a secure, happy and hardworking environment in which children of all abilities can learn with confidence. We encourage our whole school community to repect and care for one another and we strive for excellence in everything we do.

Eco School’s Green Flag Award  

This year the main focus for the School Council is to help the school gain Eco School’s Green Flag by the summer term. After completing an environmental review the council voted that ‘Transport’ should be our main project and ‘Recycling’ and ‘Grounds’ the two smaller projects.
