About secondary education in Gateshead

With 13 secondary schools across the city, secondary work in Gateshead offers real variety from one week to the next. Departments look for cover that can keep exam classes moving, so specialists are prioritised for Key Stage 4 and 5 timetables. Together, Gateshead's schools and nurseries educate around 28,400 children, and that scale keeps secondary cover requests coming in every week of term.

You will teach to departmental schemes of work, mark in line with school policy and use the school MIS to log behaviour and attendance. Bookings come from across the city and surrounding areas including Low Fell, Whickham and Blaydon, so you can filter for secondary schools and sixth forms within a comfortable commute.

Many secondary teachers use supply to test different school cultures before deciding where to settle. You choose which Gateshead bookings to accept in the Humly app, see the pay rate before you confirm, and speak to the same North East consultant each time.
