We are a small primary school of approximately 180 pupils (Reception to Year 6) plus a bustling 52 place nursery and a 14 place 2 Year Old Provision (Little Pebbles) situated in the Northumberland coastal town of Amble, also known as ‘The Friendliest Port’. We are located approximately 30 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne.

"Amble Links is a Dream School!"
I am absolutely delighted with Amble Links Primary School! The facilities are fantastic, especially the playgrounds and the field where our kids can run around freely. The values of kindness, positivity, and respect that the school promotes are truly inspiring. Our child has grown so much in just a year and we couldn't be prouder!

"Some Mixed Feelings"
We've had a bit of a mixed experience at Amble Links. On the one hand, the school has a great sense of community and the facilities are excellent. Our child loves the library and the quiet areas where they can read. However, we've had some issues with communication and some of the teachers can be a bit strict at times. Overall, we're staying but hoping for some improvements.

"A Home Away from Home!"
From the moment our child started at Amble Links, we felt like they were part of a big, happy family. The staff are so supportive and caring, and the facilities are top-notch. Our child loves the school's assemblies and the way they learn about different cultures and faiths. We couldn't ask for more!

"A Wonderful School Experience"
We sent our children to Amble Links for 5 years and had a truly wonderful experience. The school's curriculum is engaging and the teachers are passionate about what they do. Our kids loved the 3Rs program and the sense of community that the school fosters. We were sad to leave but are grateful for the education and values they received.
