XP Gateshead
About XP Gateshead
XP Gateshead is a small, mixed secondary school in the Gateshead local authority, serving pupils from age 11 to 16. With just 198 pupils on roll, it is one of the smaller state secondaries in the area. The school sits within a local landscape where the highest-ranked peer, according to available data, is Cardinal Hume Catholic School, located just over a kilometre away. Other notable nearby schools include Whickham School and St Thomas More Catholic School in Blaydon. Of the ten state secondary schools in Gateshead, only one holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted — Cardinal Hume — meaning XP Gateshead operates in a context where top grades are rare. The school has no religious character and is led by headteacher Julie Mosley. Its facilities include a gymnasium, swimming pool, theatre, music rooms, art studios, an ICT suite, and a sixth form centre, though the school itself only covers Key Stages 3 and 4.
