About Prudhoe Community High School
We are in the unique position of having moved to our brand new purpose build ‘under one roof’ school in September 2016. We have a brand new 3G pitch and sports facilities shared with Active Northumberland. This is a school where students will be challenged to work hard and give of their best. We are a happy and caring school where individual needs are met and where every individual student matters.
Prudhoe (population 19,000) lies in the southern part of Northumberland only 12 miles west of Newcastle. The area around includes attractive rural countryside with dormitory villages, some industry along the Tyne Valley, and there is a wide range of good quality housing available. Prudhoe is close to the Northumberland National Park, yet enjoys easy access by road and rail to the urban amenities of the Tynedale conurbation.
The school is a co-educational 13-18 Comprehensive, and because the school attracts students from neighbouring LEAs this results in a comprehensive diverse mix of ability and background, we are a true rural comprehensive school. We are a successful school, which has shown considerable imagination and initiative in raising standards, breadth of opportunity and commitment for education in the school and the community it serves. Our current “expect excellence’ motto, reflects our aspiration for our school and all our students.
Our School aims:
We want our young people to:
- Strive for excellence wherever and however they can
- Develop their values and learn to live by them
- Participate actively
We shall:
- Strive for excellence
- Create a hard working and caring, safe and stimulating community
- Work in partnership with our parents and carers and local, national and international organisations to enrich our outcome
