Schools in Morpeth

Northumberland's principal market town since a charter first granted in 1200, Morpeth has grown from a medieval river crossing on the Wansbeck into a compact service centre for the county. Around 14,000 people call it home.

Morpeth station sits on the East Coast Main Line and carries passengers to Newcastle Central in around twenty-five minutes. Cottingwood and Newton-on-the-Moor are among the most sought-after pockets for primary catchments in the town, and Amble, on the Northumberland coast, draws families competing for school places across the wider area. Ellington and Warkworth extend the residential reach into the surrounding countryside.
