Schools in Hexham

On the south bank of the River Tyne in Northumberland, Hexham is a market town of around 13,000 people close to Hadrian's Wall and the historic administrative centre of Tynedale district. Quiet and well-connected, it draws families from across the valley.

The Tyne Valley railway line runs east to Newcastle upon Tyne in under an hour. Hexham is widely regarded as one of Northumberland's most school-competitive market towns, and Haydon Bridge to the west is a sought-after postcode for families seeking primary catchments in smaller village settings. Henshaw and Wark extend the school geography further into the North Pennines.
