Questions parents ask
How many mainstream schools are there in North Tyneside?
North Tyneside has 58 state mainstream schools (49 primary, 5 secondary and 4 all-through or middle). In January 2026, at its primary schools, 16.5% of pupils got SEN support and 3.3% had an EHC plan (England: 15.4% and 4.1%); at its secondary schools, 15% of pupils got SEN support and 3.4% had an EHC plan (England: 14.1% and 3.5%).
Which mainstream schools in North Tyneside have an SEN unit or resourced provision?
Benton Dene Primary School, Burnside College, Christ Church CofE Primary School, George Stephenson High School, Grasmere Academy, John Spence Community High School, Norham High School, Valley Gardens Middle School, Waterville Primary School, Whitehouse Primary School and Whitley Bay High School. They are listed with the area’s special schools.
How do I get SEN support at a mainstream school?
Talk to the class teacher and the school’s SENCO (special educational needs co-ordinator). Your child doesn’t need a diagnosis. If they need more help than the school can usually give, you or the school can ask North Tyneside council for an EHC needs assessment.
What do the figures mean?
SEN support is help in school without an EHC plan; an EHC plan is a legal plan from the council for children who need more. The figures show how many children a school supports, not how well, so talk to the SENCO and read the school’s SEN information report.
