Parents in Amble are the latest to be consulted on possible wholesale changes to the organisation of schools in the area.
It follows on from a similar consultation in Berwick currently being carried out, while views have previously been sought in Hexham and Seaton Valley as part of Northumberland County Council's Conservative administration's ambitious education programme that has seen new schools built across the county.
At Tuesday's meeting of the council's cabinet, members approved plans to consult with parents ahead of a £25.5m investment in the Coquet partnership.
