North Tyneside School Catchment Areas

North Tyneside coordinates admissions across 57 primary and 14 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.

The largest concentrations sit around North Shields, Newcastle-upon-Tyne and Whitley Bay, which together account for a meaningful share of the council's pupil places.

Around 16% of schools in North Tyneside have a religious character — Church of England, Catholic, or other faith — which means faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in those schools' oversubscription tiebreakers.
