Partnerships and Community

At the School, we take pride in our partnerships with such a fantastic range of local facilities, including swimming pools, music venues, cricket clubs, golf courses, football fields, and rugby grounds. These partnerships enrich our pupils’ educational experiences, offering them unique opportunities to learn, achieve, and develop within the local community.

As a school, we have developed several partnerships with other local organisations who we are proud to access their facilities, including South Northumberland Cricket Club and High Gosforth Park Golf Club for specialist on-site coaching.

Our pupils also take great pleasure in going out into the community to volunteer their time. We host a very successful Duke of Edinburgh’s award scheme programme and, as part of this, many of our pupils have taken on a number of voluntary positions including helping at local residential home, Abbeyfield.

Our school choirs are particularly prevalent in the community, often performing to the public over the festive period or at charitable fundraisers.

As a school, we appreciate that our responsibility to our pupils and the community goes beyond the teaching we deliver in the classroom. These are just some examples of how we work to support ongoing projects whilst we continuously look to widen these partnerships further.


Boys follow a character education programme to ensure the development of young men of excellent character.

At NSB there is a deep understanding of the way boys learn and the curriculum, culture and methods allow the boys to be the best they can.
