Monkseaton High School is a 14-19 mixed secondary school with a genuinely inclusive ethos.  We are proud to be part of the North Tyneside Learning Trust and have embraced the many opportunities this has afforded our students.  We are a smaller than average High School with a 6th Form; we have experienced a recent fall in demographics locally, however, numbers are now increasing. 

Typically, we have a lower academic profile on entry than most schools and a higher level of disadvantaged than most schools nationally. However, this does not mean that any student is held back or disadvantaged, as is demonstrated in outcomes and progress made by all students.  The strong leadership, dedicated staffing body and the relentless drive for improvement across all measures, has resulted in a sustained upward trend of achievement consistently in line with, or above national.  Significantly so in the majority of threshold areas, especially when comparing to similar school contexts, ultimately ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive and achieve in our school.
