Handbook for Parents

Below you will find a link to our Handbook for Parents 2009.

This booklet provides information concerning the school, as required by the 1980 Education Act, for parents of pupils who are expected to enter the school from within the Blyth Community College catchment, and also for other parents who wish to know about the opportunities available.

Information concerning the general arrangements in Northumberland is given separately in a County Education booklet, copies of which are available for parents of pupils who are  transferring next September.

All parents who wish their children to attend this school must submit an application by completing a School Request form (copies of which are obtainable from the school or the County Education Office) and sending it to the Director of Education at County Hall, Morpeth, Northumberland NE61 2EF.

In addition to this school prospectus, the Governing Body’s annual report and statements of the LEA’s and Governing Body’s curriculum policy and aims, parents have right of access to copies of the Department of Education and Science’s Orders and Circulars about the curriculum, details of the LEA’s complaints procedures and to syllabuses and schemes of work in use at the school.   This information is available upon request.
