This quote has always resonated with me as I feel it highlights the importance of a resilient and inclusive approach to both teaching and learning.
Every experience, every observation, every interaction is a learning experience. We are all lifelong learners and at New Hartley First School we foster, promote and admire a love of learning. We encourage all of our children to ‘dream big’ and ‘aim high’.
We pride ourselves on our welcoming and nurturing ethos and would highly recommend that any prospective parents or carers come and visit.
We would love to meet you!

Nursery had a great time celebrating Science Week! The children enjoyed taking part in a different science experiment each day. Activities included forensic fingerprinting, observing a bicarbonate of soda and vinegar reaction, and trying some marine biologist-themed yoga in PE. We also explored what happened when we added food colouring and washing-up liquid to milk, it moved all by itself! To make the week even more special, we were visited by a real scientist. It was fascinating to hear all about his job!
What a busy and fun-filled week! The children have been superstars, soaking up all the science knowledge. ... See MoreSee Less

Year 4 did a fantastic job of representing New Hartley at the Primary Engineer Celebration event for the model train build. Unfortunately, we couldn't take the whole class so we drew names out of a hat and the lucky 7 children who went to the event made their trains pass a series of tests including driving in a straight line, pulling a load and reversing. The children then faced an interview with 'real' engineers from Northern Rail to talk about their build and the project. The children received amazing feedback and really enjoyed their day. We were given a school award for our hard work which was for the whole class and Riley received a special award for his skills as a communicator on the day. Well done Year 4! ... See MoreSee Less

Year 2 have really enjoyed British Science Week! Today, we had fun making flying helicopters inspired by nature, and we worked in pairs to complete STEM challenges, posing our own questions and investigating different ways in which to find the answers. Well done Year 2! ... See MoreSee Less

Year 1 have enjoyed British Science week, showing their curiosity by asking lost of interesting questions, including: How is sand made? Where does water come from? What do owls eat? and (linked to our science lesson) How tall do sunflowers grow? Why have some seeds got shoots and others do not?
We did an fun experiment with water, soap and 'germs' (pepper) to investigate the question, Why should we use soap when we wash our hands? ... See MoreSee Less
