About Grace College

Grace College is a mixed, non-denominational secondary school in Gateshead, serving 1,146 pupils aged 11 to 18. It sits within a local authority of ten secondary schools, where only one holds an Outstanding Ofsted rating: Cardinal Hume Catholic School, just 2.2 kilometres away, which also tops the local ranking with a score of 0.71. Whickham School (0.26) and St Thomas More Catholic School in Blaydon (0.05) complete the top three. Grace College itself currently holds a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted, placing it among the majority of Gateshead secondaries that have not yet reached the highest grade. For families weighing up options in this part of the North East, the school’s location and size are clear, but its inspection status is a significant factor to consider when comparing it with the higher-ranked peers nearby.
