Beamish Primary School

Welcome to Beamish Primary School

Welcome to our wonderful school and thank you for visiting our website. My name is Mrs Telfer, and I am extremely proud to be the Executive Headteacher of the Beamish & Pelton Federation.

Beamish Primary School is located in the small village of No Place near the town of Stanley and is approximately 7 miles from the historic city of Durham. The school is a smaller than average primary school with a nursery offering 15- and 30-hour places for 2, 3 and 4-year-old pupils.

Photos from Beamish Primary School's post This week we have marked an incredible 115 years of our school, and the celebrations have been something special. We have welcomed former students, staff, and the local community to explore our history through displays created by current pupils — from WWII stories to jubilee memories and even the challenges of COVID‑19.
Later this week, the whole school will step back to 1911 with a full period‑dress day. Teachers will be wearing costumes tailored by Beamish Museum, who’ll also be joining to share what life was like when the school first opened.
A huge well done to everyone involved. The anniversary has shown exactly why there really is no place like Beamish Primary School!

📜 A Moment in Time — Our Story Begins Here 📜
Today’s photo features something truly special: the plaque inside our school marking the year Beamish Primary first opened its doors. It’s a simple piece of metal, but it carries 115 years of history, memories, and community spirit.
Every pupil, every teacher, every family who has been part of our journey connects back to this moment — the day our little school officially began. Standing in front of that plaque reminds us just how far we’ve come and how many lives have been shaped within these walls.
From 1911 to today, Beamish Primary has grown, changed, and evolved, but its heart has always stayed the same. A place of learning. A place of belonging. A place filled with stories that span generations.
Here’s to the year it all started… and to the incredible community that continues to carry our story forward. 4 Likes
