About this school
Churchill Community College will be a secondary academy in Wallsend. It teaches children aged 11 to 18.
Ofsted will inspect it once it opens.
Ofsted judgement
Churchill Community College has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in September 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Churchill Community College. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Churchill Community College (closed August 2026)
Overall judgement at the last full inspection
This inspection took place under the previous framework, which gave a single overall grade. Ofsted now publishes report cards instead, so newer inspections of other schools will look different. How Ofsted report cards work
- Quality of education
- Inadequate
- Behaviour and attitudes
- Requires improvement
- Personal development
- Requires improvement
- Leadership and management
- Inadequate
- Sixth form
- Requires improvement
- Safeguarding
- Effective
Ofsted placed the school in a category of concern: special measures.

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
