Make sure you look at the School Admissions Brochure 2026-27 which contains essential information that will help you in making your child’s application, including:

  • the number of applications received and the number of places offered for previous years

Important:

  • we recommend you apply to three schools – applying for only one school does not improve you chances of gaining a place at this school

  • if you rank a school outside Gateshead as one or more of your preferences you must look at the admission policy for that school before submitting your application
  • you must apply by 31 October 2025
