Beamish Primary School

Welcome to Beamish Primary School

Welcome to our wonderful school and thank you for visiting our website. My name is Mrs Telfer, and I am extremely proud to be the Executive Headteacher of the Beamish & Pelton Federation.

Beamish Primary School is located in the small village of No Place near the town of Stanley and is approximately 7 miles from the historic city of Durham. The school is a smaller than average primary school with a nursery offering 15- and 30-hour places for 2, 3 and 4-year-old pupils.

💛 Celebrating the People Who Made Our School What It Is 💛
As we prepare for our 115th anniversary celebration, we’ve been diving into our archives — and today’s featured photo is a heartwarming reminder of the generations who walked these halls before today’s pupils ever picked up a pencil.
These past pupils helped shape the spirit of our school:
the friendships, the laughter, the teamwork, and the sense of belonging that still define us.
Our upcoming celebration is the perfect moment to come back, reminisce, and reconnect. If you recognise a face in this photo — or if it simply brings back memories of your own school days — we’d love to see you there.
Let’s honour 115 years of shared stories and the incredible community that continues to grow with every generation. Spread the word to your old classmates — it’s time to come back! 🎉 1 Likes

We’d love to hear your guesses, your memories, and your stories.
Whether you were here decades ago or you’ve only just joined our community, you’re part of something much bigger — a history shaped by thousands of footsteps, friendships, and moments.

As we count down to our 115th anniversary celebration, we’ve been looking back at the incredible people who shaped our school — and today’s photo is a special one. It features some of our wonderful past pupils, whose laughter, friendships, and achievements still echo through our corridors.
Seeing these familiar faces reminds us what this milestone is really about:
community, connection, and the memories we’ve built together.
We’d love to welcome all former pupils back to celebrate with us. Whether you were here in the 60s, the 90s, or just a few years ago, this event is your chance to:
• Revisit old classrooms
• Catch up with friends you haven’t seen in years
• Share stories that only your year group will remember
• Celebrate the legacy you helped create
If this photo brings back memories, imagine what the day itself will feel like. Come join us as we honour 115 years of learning, friendship, and community. Spread the word and tag a former classmate who should be there! 🎉 7 Likes
