Introduction

The Way AheadThe Education Board exists to promote Christian education of the highest quality.

Church schools have their foundation in the Christian Gospel and are linked to a worshipping community. Day-to-day life in a Church school reflects that foundation,  not just in the part of the curriculum labelled Religious  Education, or in that part of the school day termed "Collective Worship", but throughout the whole curriculum and ethos of the school.

Newcastle Diocese encompasses the Local Authority areas of Northumberland, North Tyneside and the City of Newcastle upon Tyne.   

There are currently 46 Church of England schools and one all-age Academy in the Diocese catering for about 10,000 children and young people.

For a complete listing, location and contact information for all our church schools, please visit our Find a School page.
