Bamburgh School is maintained by South Tyneside Education Authority for pupils whose special needs cover a broad spectrum of medical, physical, social, emotional and moderate learning difficulties.

Our school vision is to raise the achievement of pupils in order to inspire them to be as independent as their needs will allow. Staff also work to ensure that our pupils understand that the four components of the school motto (Aspiration, Commitment, Manners and Enjoyment) will help them to enjoy and achieve in their lives both within and outside school. To achieve these two over-arching aims, our intention is to teach a curriculum in each subject from EY to Year 11 which is meaningful for our pupils, builds on existing knowledge and so empowers them ‘to interact positively with the world around them’. We believe in ‘achievement’ in its widest possible sense: not only academic, but also personal, physical, emotional and social.

If, as a parent of a pupil attending this school, you require a paper copy of the information on this website, we shall provide this free of charge.
