We are delighted that you are considering a place for your child at Haltwhistle Primary Academy.

Children typically join our school in nursery at age 3 or at the start of Reception (the academic year in which they turn 5), however children can join us at any age from 3-11 years.  We warmly welcome visits to our friendly school. These can be arranged by Mrs Shirley Phillips in our school office (01434 320467).

Admissions to Haltwhistle Academy from reception to year 6 are managed by Northumberland County Council. We manage our own nursery admissions within school.

The Northumberland County Council’s admissions policy applies, as do the arrangements for an appeal if needed.  You can apply for a place for your child to start with us prior to reception class or at any other time. A link to Northumberland County Council can be found below.
