Schools in Blaydon-on-Tyne
Blaydon-on-Tyne has 6 schools - 5 primaries and 1 secondary - with catchment boundaries set by Gateshead Council. Three schools hold faith designations (Roman Catholic) and three operate as academies, so it is worth reading each school's individual admissions policy alongside the council's co-ordinated scheme.
Catchment areas in Blaydon are relatively stable year-on-year, as this is a less densely populated part of Gateshead. However, the Roman Catholic secondary draws pupils from a significantly wider area than the community alternatives, and siblings are always given priority after children with EHC plans.
