This quote has always resonated with me as I feel it highlights the importance of a resilient and inclusive approach to both teaching and learning.
Every experience, every observation, every interaction is a learning experience. We are all lifelong learners and at New Hartley First School we foster, promote and admire a love of learning. We encourage all of our children to ‘dream big’ and ‘aim high’.
We pride ourselves on our welcoming and nurturing ethos and would highly recommend that any prospective parents or carers come and visit.
We would love to meet you!

Lots of festive themed games and activities in Year 1 to end the Autumn term. Mrs Banks was particularly impressed with the children's ability to follow instructions to build Lego baubles. They look fab on the class Christmas tree! We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and look forward to seeing you all again in 2026! ... See MoreSee Less

Year 4 have had a fantastic week. We enjoyed an interactive workshop with Great North Museums, where we took a flight simulator the length of Hadrian's Wall and saw what it looked like in 400AD but also superimposed through modern day Newcastle. We also completed a half day's cycle ride in tough weather conditions! ... See MoreSee Less
