Jarrow School is a forward-looking school which opened in September 2003 after secondary reorganisation in the town. Stemming from values blending tradition within a culture of innovation, Jarrow School offers an education characterised by breadth and depth, embracing the culture of change.

One of the real strengths of the school is its size. It is large enough to ensure a rich and diverse curriculum, yet small enough so that every student is well known.

Situated close to the northern city of Newcastle Upon Tyne and the coastal resort town, South Shields there is easy access to the UK's motorway and rail networks and Newcastle airport is 14 miles away.

Lying adjacent to green fields, the school was entirely rebuilt as part of the BSF scheme in 2009 and the site is managed under a PFI contract. We have first class facilities in all areas including community swimming pool.
