Cheviot Learning Trust 'delighted' with Ofsted inspection success for its Northumberland schools

Inspectors delivered ‘good’ ratings for Broomley First, Prudhoe Castle First, Harbottle First, Prudhoe High, Ovingham First, Highfield Middle, Ovingham Middle and Wylam First.

The schools received praise for numerous aspects including the provision of leadership opportunities to pupils, ambitious curriculums, excellent behaviour standards, support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities and safeguarding.

Cheviot Learning Trust’s co-chief executives, Alice Witherow and Simon Taylor, said: “We are both delighted with the Ofsted reports for all of these schools. It reflects the hard work of the staff and pupils and the brilliant support from the parents, governors and Northumberland communities we serve.”

The Trust was formed following the merger of Tyne Community Learning Trust and Three Rivers Learning Trust in 2023.

Other schools in its 18-strong portfolio include King Edward VI High, Chantry Middle, Newminster Middle, Abbeyfields, Morpeth All Saints, Stobhillgate, Dr Thomlinson Middle in Rothbury and Thropton.
