We are a large and flourishing middle school set in the historical market town of Hexham and are co-located with Queen Elizabeth High School as part of Hadrian Learning Trust. In September 2021, we moved into brand new school buildings with state-of-the-art learning facilities. We cherish the strong partnerships that exist between pupils, parents/carers, staff, and the local community, making this a successful, friendly, and welcoming school. Pupils at HMS have an eagerness to learn and achieve very well academically. We pride ourselves on the care we give the children at HMS.

Ethos

Hexham is a school that prides itself on being friendly, safe and welcoming, at the same time as providing its students with an environment where they are encouraged to reach their full academic potential. Our ethos is encapsulated in three words – respect, engage and aspire. Our overall intention is to enable learners to enjoy acquiring and developing the skills, knowledge, understanding and character to thrive in our community and in the wider world.
