Headteacher

"The pupils are confident, friendly and articulate. Their attitude to learning is positive" (Ofsted Dec 2012)

The Governors wish to appoint a Headteacher from January 2015. Ovingham Middle School promotes high standards achieved through a combination of quality teaching and a broad, balanced and innovative curriculum. The school is particularly proud of its enrichment programme which includes the opportunity for at least one residential experience per year for every pupil.

This very popular Middle School is situated in the beautiful Tyne Valley within easy reach of the facilities of Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

The school enjoys strong parental support and an excellent reputation within the wider school community.

You will be one who will understand, nurture and develop the caring and inclusive ethos of this school community.
