Butterknowle Primary School is a welcoming and vibrant village school where every child is known, valued and supported to achieve their full potential. As a small school with a strong sense of community, we pride ourselves on creating a positive environment where children feel happy, safe and confident. Our pupils enjoy coming to school and are encouraged to develop a love of learning, while our caring staff ensure that everyone is treated with kindness, respect and understanding.

Our school has three well-resourced classes, allowing children to benefit from high-quality teaching and strong relationships with staff. Children of different ages learn and work together successfully, developing confidence, independence and a strong sense of responsibility towards one another. Through an ambitious curriculum and a wide range of enrichment opportunities, we help pupils develop the knowledge, skills and character needed for future success.
