Official inspection reports and grades
Inspected 28 February 2024
Slaley First School's catchment area comes from its admission criteria, set by the local authority, Northumberland, which decide who is offered a place when more children apply than there are places. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance from home or a catchment boundary, and the school's admissions policy says which it uses. Living nearby does not guarantee a place, and how far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Slaley First School is in Northumberland council's area. Check its admissions booklet for how far away places went in recent years. For a Reception place, apply through the council where you live by 15 January in the year your child starts school.
School workforce census, 2025/26.
Slaley First School's last overall grade from Ofsted was Good, on 3 March 2015. Ofsted inspected it again on 28 February 2024 without giving a new overall grade.
Apply through the council where you live by 15 January for a Reception place starting that September. Children start Reception in the September after their fourth birthday. You can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference, and offers are sent on 16 April, or the next working day. A place in its nursery class does not carry on into Reception, so you still need to apply.
