Welcome to
NCEA Bishop’s C OF E Primary
A note from our Headteacher
Welcome to NCEA Bishop’s Primary School. We are based at the Josephine Butler Campus in Ashington in the same building as Duke’s Secondary School and Castle School. We serve the wards of Ashington Central, College and Hirst and children can attend our school from our 2 year old provision to Year 6.
At Bishop’s Primary we aim for all children to grow and flourish in both their learning and their values. This means we create a stimulating, safe and happy environment where every child feels valued and can thrive. We use the parable of the mustard seed to teach childrenabout how they may begin small but over their time at school will achieve great things.
We encourage all children to ‘let their LIGHT shine’ by showing the NCEA Trust’s LIGHT
values of Love, Inclusivity, Goodness, Hope and Truth at all times, whether in school or in
the community.
We hope you find the information on our website useful. If you have any questions please
do not hesitate to get in touch with our school office.

Mrs Marriott would like us to share this message with you all:
'I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone at Bishop's for the kindness, generosity and good wishes shared on my last day. I was humbled and overwhelmed by the many many gifts, flowers, cards, pictures, decorations and singing! I would love to be able to write individual 'thank you' cards to each of you, but this would take me months!
I have many special memories of my time at the school and I hope we were able to make my last day memorable for the children with their surprise treats - the staff loved the bouncy castles, slide and disco dome too!
Best wishes to everyone for the term ahead. Clare Marriott x' ... See MoreSee Less
