The School
Newcastle School for Boys is an independent day school located in the heart of Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne. From September 2026, we begin a new and exciting chapter, becoming The Newcastle School and welcoming girls into our community for the first time; building on the legacy of Newcastle School for Boys. Our school offers a unique through-school education from Early Years to Sixth Form, ensuring a seamless academic journey for every pupil, every step of the way.
From September 2026, we will welcome girls into the Junior School and Sixth Form with the rest of the Senior School to follow in September 2027.
What sets The Newcastle School apart is our size and philosophy. We are intentionally small, with small class sizes, allowing every child to be known and understood as a unique learner. Our supportive environment and strong pastoral framework underpin exceptional academic and personal development. We provide the range of opportunities you would expect from a much larger school, all within a nurturing, inclusive setting.
Our pupils benefit from tailored learning, expert teaching, and a wealth of co-curricular experience, from sport and performing arts to STEM clubs and international travel.
This is an excellent opportunity to build on the success of a high performing department in an ambitious school. A contribution to the pastoral and lively co-curricular life of the School is expected.
Full details of the role’s responsibilities can be found in the Job Description.
