Grace College is an 11-19 secondary school serving over 1200 students in central Gateshead. The school is committed to creating an outstanding learning community where students excel in their academic, cultural, co-curricular and personal lives. The College joined the Emmanuel Schools Foundation (ESF) in April 2019 as the fifth school providing a holistic education focused on developing character in and beyond the classroom.

Our hope is that all students leave the college as well-rounded, qualified individuals who are able to articulate a viewpoint and back it up with substantial knowledge and understanding. Students are encouraged to achieve academic excellence to ac
