Tynemouth advice

[MILK0]

Hello, I was wondering whether anyone has first hand knowledge of primary schools in Tynemouth. We are moving to the area and need to name three schools for the application process. I was planning on putting Kings Priory first but am undecided about the other two.

I'd really appreciate any advice/info about King Edward, Monkhouse and Cullercoats Primary Schools.

Thanks in advance!

Hopeful bump

Tynemouth is fabulous. I live in whitley Bay. My brother has children at King's and Cullercoats. The advantage of King's is if your child starts in primary then they keep a place through to secondary. No stressful school application. It used to be a private school. Cullercoats also great school. Most go to marden high secondary after Cullercoats. Marden high is great school too and has brand new building. My brother chose marden as secondary rather than King's. Preferred it as more modern even though he went to King's when it was private.
To be honest both are great choices for results and reputation. Depends if you'd prefer child to have place all the way through at King's. King's is also centre of tynemouth. Other choices. Monk house is very good, next door to marden high. So most would go on to marden high after that.

I went to Marden and my brother went to Kings - it's a really good school so hopefully you get that. The secondary school part is fantastic, he is in sixth form now and the uni support is incredible. I didn't have a good experience of Marden so I would never recommend that.

I've heard good things about Cullercoats Primary but if you're in Tynemouth Kings is definitely best.

Thank you both, that's really helpful.

There is a good tynemouth Facebook group, you could try posting in that? Probably get lots of feedback !
