About Monkseaton High School

Monkseaton High School’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2025, judged the school as ‘Requires Improvement’ overall, though inspectors did not issue a final grade for overall effectiveness. The picture is more nuanced than that single label suggests: behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision were all rated ‘Good’. The most telling academic metric is Progress 8, which measures how much pupils improve between Key Stage 2 and GCSEs compared with the national average. Monkseaton’s Progress 8 score of -0.46 places it tenth out of eleven secondary schools in North Tyneside, putting it in the bottom half nationally. This means that, on average, pupils leave with nearly half a grade less per subject than their peers with similar starting points. The school’s Attainment 8 score sits at 38.3, and just 27.5% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in English and maths.
