Our History

New Delaval Primary is a small urban school which stands to the west of Blyth in Northumberland. The new building opened in September 2009 and saw the start the latest stage in New Delaval's proud history.

There has been a school serving the former mining village of New Delaval for many years. The New Delaval First School building, which was our home until July 2009, was the old Secondary school building and had been our home since the original Primary School was demolished in 1971.

The new school building still stands proudly close to the former Plessey Wagon Way down which coal would be transported right through the town of Blyth to the harbour.  This important link is known as Plessey Road today.  We still have members of the community who lived in the original village, supporting as friends of the school.

The annex - home to the Early Years Unit from 1991 until July 2009

The summer of 2009 saw the final stages of the school reorganisation in Blyth take place. Northumberland County Council took the decision to move to a two tier education system, New Delaval First School re-opened in a brand new building in September 2009 as New Delaval Primary.
 

The new £2.8 million building has been constructed on the site of the old school yard. The original building and annex were sadly demolished and in their place now stands the new car park and entrance to the school as well as the wildlife and mini-beast  garden.
