Dr Thomlinson Church of England Middle School is situated in the beautiful rural setting of Rothbury on the edge of Northumberland National Park and provides for 232 children from Years 5-8. 
Our school’s mission is to provide a broad, balanced and relevant education which caters for the whole child in a secure and caring Christian environment.

As individuals and as a community it is our aim to do our best and we are very proud of the high achievement of our pupils. In July 2022 Ofsted judged the school as continuing to be Good.

Our strong ethos strives to ensure each child achieves their very best; academically – through a knowledge rich, focused and sequenced curriculum (that has the scope and ambition of the national curriculum); culturally – through both the work in our classrooms and an extensive programme of extracurricular activities and visits; spiritually – through an ethos of interdependence that flows through the life of both our school and wider community.


The broad content of our curriculum is enriched by covering a wide range of subjects, talents and future careers. We realise that in order for our children to be leaders in tomorrow’s world they will need to demonstrate positivity, teamwork and a belief that everyone can improve through dedication and hard work. 


Success, progress and celebration are very much at the heart of what we do; we look forward to sharing this ever-evolving learning journey with you.
