It is the largest middle school in Whitley Bay, with about 750 pupils on roll and SATs results are significantly above the national average. It serves a mainly suburban catchment.
Most students transfer to Whitley Bay High School at the end of Year 8 because of its close proximity.
Prior to school reorganisation in the 1970s the building was a secondary modern; hence it has always had relatively good technology facilities for a middle school.
