School Information
White Mere is a one form entry Primary School, with seven single-age classes.Initially, it opened in January,1976, to serve the expanding local population. Still, today, most of our pupils come from within the area bounded by Lingey Lane, the A184 (Gateshead -Sunderland route) and Leam Lane, but, increasingly, pupils are travelling longer distances. Currently, there are 185 pupils on roll.
The modern single-storey building is well maintained with regular planned school improvement projects continuing to provide an excellent learning environment for our pupils.A new library and conservatory are the most recent additions.
The school benefits from extensive grounds which we are in the process of developing to enhance the quality of resources for playtimes and outdoor activities.
