School Atlas lists 72 state primary schools, 16 state secondary schools, 1 all-through school, 4 special schools, 2 alternative provision schools and 2 post-16 schools and colleges in Newcastle upon Tyne. It also lists 10 independent schools and 83 nurseries and other early-years settings.
Of the state primary, secondary and all-through schools, 26 have a religious character: 21 Roman Catholic, 4 Church of England and 1 Multi-faith.
Of the 89 state primary, secondary and all-through schools in Newcastle upon Tyne, 33 hold an Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade from their last graded inspection: 2 Outstanding, 30 Good and 1 Requires improvement.
Ofsted stopped giving state schools a single overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025 its report cards grade each area separately; 11 of these schools have had one.
Newcastle upon Tyne doesn't use catchment areas. Places go by each school’s own admission criteria, not an area you live inside.
We also hold last-distance-offered records for 48 schools. That distance is not always a cut-off: at a school with places to spare it is simply the furthest applicant.
