South Tyneside School Catchment Areas
Schools in South Tyneside split across 45 primaries and 8 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.
The largest concentrations sit around South Shields, Jarrow and Hebburn, which together account for a meaningful share of the council's pupil places.
Around 28% of schools in South 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.
Based on the latest published capacity data, 16 of the 64 schools in South Tyneside are at or above their admission number, so catchment distance is decisive at those schools. 18 schools apply faith-based criteria alongside catchment distance. Of the 26 South Tyneside schools with a current Ofsted rating, 24 are rated Good or Outstanding.
