Change is coming to education in Amble after the majority of parents and stakeholders voiced their support for a switch to a two-tier system.
Schools in the area currently operates an unusual form of the three-tier system that was at one time common throughout the county, but is slowly dying out.
Amble Middle School merged with James Calvert Spence High School in 2016 to become an age nine to 18 school - something unique for Northumberland. Parents were consulted between May and June on a potential change to a two-tier system that would see the partnership's first schools switch to primary schools before feeding into James Calvert Spence.
