Welcome to Our School Website
The staff and pupils of Pelton Community Primary warmly welcome you to our school website.
We hope it will help you know a little more about us and help us celebrate our achievements. To see some pictures celebrating our learning, please visit our class areas and curriculum pages. You can also see regular updates on our school Facebook page.
Pelton Community Primary is federated with Beamish Primary School as part of the Beamish and Pelton Federation.
Schools in the Beamish and Pelton Federation aim to ensure that every child learns how to be the ‘best they can be.’ We do this by providing an exciting and enjoyable curriculum where children learn to love learning.
Pelton Community Primary School is located in the small rural village of Pelton and serves the children of Pelton and other surrounding villages. The school is situated near Chester-le-Street and is 8 miles from the historic city of Durham. The school is a larger than average co-educational primary school with two classes in each year and a large nursery. The Children’s Centre in an adjoining building offers a wide range of additional services to children and parents including childcare.
There is always something exciting happening in our school, so please be sure to visit the news page and our newsletters for up to date information.
For prospective parents, we hope this website provides you with an overview of the school and the many opportunities open for your child. You can view our School Prospectus / Admissions for further information. For current parents, please view our Parents’ Page, where you will find a range of useful information and forms, plus details on how to contact the school.
If you require any further information or would like to visit us, please do not hesitate to contact the school office and we will do our best to help. Likewise, should you require a paper copy of any of our information, please let us know.
Yours faithfully,
Karen Telfer

Beamish and Pelton Federation of Schools
Pelton Community Primary School forms one part of the Beamish and Pelton Federation of Schools. This means the Headteacher and Governors lead both schools and thus provide opportunities for both schools to benefit from the partnership.
These close links allow resources and expertise to be shared as well as staff training, federation events and access for all children to sports, performances, field trips, etc.
As part of a federation, we strive to broaden the opportunities for all children through a creative and innovative curriculum that encourages a collaborative partnership and shared ethos.
