The national cut off date for applications to primary schools is January 15, 2023.
One way of choosing is by looking at their Ofsted reports.
These are based on inspections carried out to make sure they are up to standard.
When a school is inspected by Ofsted, they are given a rating of either 'Outstanding', 'Good', 'Requires Improvement' or 'Inadequate'.
Here are the top-rated first and primary schools in north Northumberland.
