Dear Parents, Carers, and Visitors,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to Chantry Middle School—a very popular school situated in Morpeth, Northumberland, with currently 550 students on roll. We are a vibrant, inclusive, and ambitious learning community where children are at the heart of everything we do.

As proud members of the Cheviot Learning Trust, we benefit from being part of a wider family of schools committed to collaboration, innovation, and educational excellence. This partnership strengthens our ability to provide the very best opportunities for our pupils and staff, while retaining our own distinct identity and ethos.

At Chantry, we believe in nurturing not just academic achievement, but the personal growth and well-being of every student. Our core values, respect, responsibility, and care, are woven through all aspects of school life. These values guide how we learn, how we treat one another, and how we prepare our young people to contribute positively to the wider world.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to nurture a varied and inclusive environment in which everyone has the opportunity to thrive. Whether a student is already excelling in certain areas or still discovering their unique strengths, we are here to support, inspire, and challenge them every step of the way.

Our vision—excellent education for all—drives our commitment to high standards and to ensuring that every child, regardless of background or ability, has access to outstanding learning opportunities.

We are proud of the supportive relationships we build across our school community, and I warmly invite you to explore our website, view our Facebook page, visit our school, or get in touch to find out more. Together, we can ensure that every child at Chantry Middle School flourishes.

Warm regards,
Glen Whitehead
