Junior First Aid for Kids

By S Mungall25th November 2019
The children of Abbeyfields have had a lesson in life saving! The  training has been provided by TJ’s Junior First Aid for Kids. The programme has taught Year 1 to Year 4 children basic life support and CPR first aid techniques.
Miss Rice is our school First Aid coordinator and organised this in the hope to increase our children’s knowledge so that if they found themselves in an emergency situation, they would know what to do.

Northumbria in Bloom Competition 2019

By S Mungall27th September 2019

The results are in……..WE DID IT!!! Huge congratulations to every child in the school for winning yet another RHS Gold Medal for our outstanding allotment. And it gets better – the judges were so impressed by the standard of the allotment and children’s overall plant knowledge and Horticultural skills that Abbeyfields has been awarded Best Entry in class! We truly mean it when we say that it could not have been possible to accomplish this incredible achievement without each and every child at Forest School as they put all of their skills in to practise to make the allotment the success that it is. Let’s bask in the glory while we can as there is still plenty more work to be done to prepare for Winter crops!

Staffing news

19th July 2019Andrew Baxter

We are thrilled to have appointed two new teachers to our dedicated and strong staff team who will be joining us in September for the new academic year. Rachel Wales will be joining as a Year 1 teacher and Catherine Prem will be joining us as a Year 3 teacher.

“I’m thrilled to be joining the Year 1 team at Abbeyfields! I have recently qualified as a teacher through North Tyneside’s SCITT programme after an earlier career in retail advertising and more recently as a primary school librarian. Children’s literature is my passion and I love exploring words, themes and illustrations with my classes. My two sons keep me very busy in my spare time thanks to football and I keep fit through running and also enjoy crafting of all types. I’m really looking forward to meeting all the children, families and staff over the coming weeks – please say hello if you see me!”  – Rachel Wales 

“I have lived in the North East all my life and before becoming a teacher had a long career in the NHS working as a genetic counsellor with families with muscular dystrophy. My two boys are former Abbeyfields students and their great experiences here played a large part in my decision to retrain as a teacher. I’m a keen cyclist and can usually be found riding my bike around the local area at weekends. I am very excited to have the opportunity to join the teaching team and am looking forward to the new school year.” – Catherine Prem


We are all really looking forward to working closely with Rachel and Catherine in September.

Fun in the forest

16th July 2019Andrew Baxter

We recently hosted our annual family camping night to celebrate the end of another school year.

Set within the grounds of the Forest School, the residential was made available to all pupils and their families.

Set around a campfire, the burning embers not only provided the perfect opportunity to cook up some tasty treats, but also to bring families together in a fireside sing-song – accompanied by an instrument or two.

At sunrise, campers were invited to breakfast with the badgers, deer, foxes and birds from the comfort of the site’s wildlife hide.

Headteacher Sandra Ford said:

“Our annual camping event has always proven popular with our families and this year we had over 220 people joining us, which was a fantastic turnout.

As well as being lots of fun, events like these help to reinforce the work we do with our forest school in inspiring outdoor learning.

Over the last 10 years, we have taken every opportunity to inspire individuals of any age about the environment and wider ecological challenges through positive outdoor experiences.”
