Schools in Wallsend
Wallsend is a riverside town on the River Tyne in North Tyneside, historically the eastern terminus of Hadrian's Wall, with 13 schools including Burnside Business and Enterprise College as the main secondary for the area. The primary sector is extensive — 12 schools cover Wallsend and the adjacent neighbourhoods of Battle Hill, Willington Quay and North Blyth. Four faith schools, predominantly Catholic, serve the town's established communities.
Two schools are currently at or above capacity, and three hold a Good or Outstanding Ofsted rating. North Tyneside Council coordinates school admissions for the area. Families in the Rosehill, Chirton and Howdon areas of Wallsend should confirm which primary catchment their address falls within, as the town's dense layout means several schools serve narrowly defined zones.
