"Average Experience"

We've been at Kielder Primary for a year now and while the staff are lovely, we feel that the school could do more to engage parents in school life. The facilities are great, but sometimes feel underutilized.

"Best School in Northumberland!"

We moved to Kielder a year ago and couldn't be happier with our choice of school. The Headteacher's commitment to developing the whole child is evident in everything they do, from the emphasis on mental wellbeing to the amazing after-school activities.

"Wonderful Experience"

My children both attended Kielder Primary and had a fantastic time. The small class sizes allowed them to thrive and the outdoor education program was a highlight for them.
