The
old Alexandra First School, on Alexandra Road, was built in 1913. At that
time it was known as the Hirst East Infant School and it catered
for children between the ages of 5 and 7. In 1974 the school was re-organised
to cater for pupils between the ages of 4 and 9. The name was then changed
to Alexandra County First School. The school has had seven head
teachers (plus a temporary head teacher and an acting head teacher) as
follows:
| 1913-1926 |
Jane
W. Gibson |
| 1926-1948 |

In October 1991
we moved to our present new building on Moor House Lane. The official
opening of the new building took place on the 4th June 1992. The
old building has now been demolished and is the site of Ashington Sure Start. We are very
fortunate to have a fairly new school building in which to work.
We aim to give our children the best possible start to their education
in the best possible environment.
