About Wellfield Middle School

Wellfield Middle School is a state secondary for pupils aged 9 to 13 in North Tyneside, and the parent experience signals are worth noting. The school is oversubscribed, with 353 pupils on roll against a capacity of 360, suggesting it is a popular choice among local families. While the data does not include a specific parentView recommend percentage, the oversubscription ratio alone indicates strong demand. Headteacher Susan Winter leads the school, which has a mixed gender intake and no religious character. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2019 graded inspection and the 2024 ungraded visit. This stability in quality is a reassuring signal for parents, especially given that only one of the 15 secondary schools in the local authority currently holds an Outstanding rating.
