We are a special school in West Northumberland for pupils aged from 2 to 19 years with severe, profound and multiple learning disabilities including Autism.

The school is part of the northern hub of the Eden Academy Trust, a family of special schools who work together under one Multi Academy Trust.

I know that choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you may make. Hexham Priory School is a vibrant, caring and purposeful environment in which all our pupils thrive. Staff and pupils are proud of our school, and work together to provide a friendly and caring environment in which pupils feel valued and secure.

At Hexham Priory School we provide a welcoming, supportive environment for pupils and staff, where good communications with the pupils, their guardians, visitors and the wider community of professionals are fostered.

Our expert staff and facilities are designed to meet the individual needs of our pupils, in a bespoke way, ensuring that all our children and young people achieve their very best. Our staff work together with parents, carers and others to make sure the curriculum is personalised to maximise each pupil’s potential.
