Please see letter from Simon Taylor, CEO at The Three Rivers, explaining the next steps for the partial opening of schools
The Three Rivers Learning Trust has welcomed Stobhillgate First School into our family of schools. The conversion process met the deadline of 1 April 2020, despite the current situation which has seen schools closed and staff working mainly from home.
Stobhillgate Headteacher Glen Whitehead commented, “At Stobhillgate we are delighted to now be part of The Three Rivers Learning Trust. We have been warmly welcomed into the Trust, who have already provided significant support and guidance. We look forward to further developing collaboration across the trust in order to continually improve our offer for children, their families and for staff.”
Trust CEO, Simon Taylor added, “I would like to thank colleagues at the Trust, at Stobhillgate and at NCC, who have worked together effectively to support the conversion process. The Trust is very pleased with the addition of Stobhillgate, which enhances our ability to collaborate, share resources and deliver high quality education for the benefit of all our children and young people”.
Paul Carvin, Chair of the Board of Trustees, added: “we are really pleased that Stobhillgate have joined us. They share the same vision and values as the Trust and we know we can all work together for the benefit of public education in Morpeth.”
The addition of Stobhillgate increases the number of First Schools in the Trust to four, and the total number of schools to eight.

- Abbeyfields First School
- Harbottle Church of England First School

The children had a great day dressing up as one of their favourite characters.
Great fun was had by all!
Not everyone was able to get in to school today so Mrs Buckley and the other members of staff decided to have some fun in the snow!
Please find attached a copy of the SIAMs inspection report, which I am sure you will all be delighted to see how well we have done.
We had a visit today from Thomson Bathgate, Robin Murray and Alan Thompson from the Coquetdale Masonic Lodge who gave us a donation of £100 from their Christmas raffle.
They also very kindly gave us a donation of £100 from Dr John Smail who was a former pupil. Dr John has very fond memories of his years at our school.
To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Mrs Wood prepared a lovely Chinese buffet for us.
2020 is the year of the rat!
