Schools in Berwick-upon-Tweed

England's northernmost town, Berwick-upon-Tweed sits at the mouth of the River Tweed in Northumberland, a compact market town of around 12,000 people whose streets changed hands between England and Scotland more than a dozen times before 1482, when Richard of Gloucester reclaimed it definitively for the English Crown. The border legacy runs deep.

Spittal, on the south bank of the Tweed, draws families seeking primary catchments, while Tweedmouth and Horncliffe extend the residential choice around the town. East Coast Main Line trains from Berwick station reach Newcastle in around 45 minutes and Edinburgh in roughly an hour.
