About Seaton Sluice Middle School

Seaton Sluice Middle School is a state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13, and the numbers suggest it is a school that local families actively choose. With 332 pupils on roll against a capacity of 340, the school is operating very close to full, which indicates it is oversubscribed or at least in strong demand. ParentView data is not available in this dataset, so we cannot report a specific recommendation percentage, but the tight admissions picture implies a solid local reputation. The school is led by headteacher Alan Rogers and sits within Northumberland local authority. It is a mixed, non-denominational school with no religious character, and it does not have a sixth form or nursery provision. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2023, confirmed that the school remains Good, a rating it has held since its last graded inspection in January 2013. That is a long stretch of consistent quality, which will reassure parents looking for stability.
