What is left in terms of Independent Schools in this area with the upcoming closure of SHS???
I am guessing Durham and RGS for 13+ with Bow and Durham Choristers upto 13
A lot of the Newcastle schools have merged or become academies or Free schools, in the past decade. Kings in Tynemouth is a free school. Just checked and Polam Hall, in Darlo is a free school, now, too.
I've just done a seach for Independent schools in the NE on The Good Schools Guide website and that actually brings up 43 hits - some of those are special schools or out of date, mind (it lists Grindon Hall, for example). Even accounting for those, there'll be a few left, though.
