Byrness First School

Introduction

Byrness First School is a very small school, it enjoys considerable support from its Governors, and people in the village and surrounding area. There are also close links with the National Park, Forestry Commission and other organisations in the area. We also work closely with other small first schools and often link up with them to provide a wide range of learning and social opportunities for our children. Byrness village has a population of 110 and is situated just off the A68 Jedburgh road. The teaching staff consists of the Headteacher and another part time teacher ,at the moment there are 6 children at the school. The children come from the village and from outlying farms and houses. The school is very well resourced and the building is purpose built and well maintained. Outside, we have a newly resurfaced playground, a grassy area for games and a wildlife area.The school is in the Northumberland National Park and is surrounded by hills and forests.
