Schools in Wallsend

The town that gave Hadrian's Wall its eastern terminus, Wallsend preserves the Roman fort of Segedunum at its historic core while carrying a later industrial chapter shaped by the Swan Hunter shipyards that once defined the River Tyne. Around 44,000 people live here today.

Sitting four miles east of Newcastle upon Tyne in North Tyneside, Wallsend is the focal point for families competing for school places across the borough, with the Tyne and Wear Metro putting the city centre within fifteen minutes. Howdon and Redesdale extend the residential spread north and east, bringing further catchment options to the area.
