Another as yet undiscussed strand of our story is religion. The school is seen by some as the Methodist's School and its very existence on this site owes much to Alderman the Rev. R.E. Robson.
Earlier than this though we have several records of John Wesley coming to Prudhoe to preach and there is a stone just down the road from the school that commemorates this fact. Wesley came in 1757 to lay the foundation stone of the Methodist Chapel and he made further visits in 1761, 1769 and 1782.
