The result of a merger between a thriving independent school and an
outstanding community primary school, we are an inclusive, non-fee paying
academy with excellent teachers, a family environment, motivated pupils and a
commitment to educating the whole child - both in and outside of the classroom.
The School operates across neighbouring sites in the centre of the
attractive coastal village of Tynemouth with short commuting links into Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The school is close to the ancient Priory, the mouth of the River Tyne and the
beach. This historical and picturesque setting provides a stimulating learning
opportunity for all of our pupils.
Kings Priory School is the top performing school in North Tyneside at Key Stage 4; pupils achieve exceptional outcomes which are well above national averages. In 2018 98% of pupils achieved a 4+ in English and 93% of pupils achieved a 4+ in mathematics. We are also very proud of the outcomes students achieve in the Sixth Form, where, in 2018, the average grade was a B- and many students went to read their chosen subjects at Russell Group universities.
Kings Priory School is part of Woodard Academies Trust
multi-academy sponsor whose aim is to be a provider of world class education,
transforming lives within and across communities. Our Church of England faith helps
to make our school a thoughtful community and we are welcoming, positive and
open to students and staff of all faiths and none.
