About us

Hello,

I am proud to be the Headteacher at River Tyne Academy Gateshead. We work with learners who are facing an interruption in their learning because they have been permanently excluded from their previous school or because their school has asked us to work with them to understand their underlying needs. We help our learners return to mainstream or another provision that meets their needs and build a successful future at a point that is right for them.

Our curriculum is broad and balanced to motivate and engage our learners whilst providing them with the core skills and qualifications to enable them to progress. During their time with us learners focus on building Currency, Character and Community knowledge and skills. Our highly trained team deliver a range of GCSEs and vocational programmes to our learners and have high expectations – as a minimum we expect all learners to leave with a minimum of GCSEs in English and maths and go on to education and training post-16 or into employment. When learners are ready to leave our school we work with other organisations to ensure their transition is successful.

We understand how important it is to work with parents and carers to ensure they feel supported. Every learner has a link tutor who regularly updates parents and carers and we value feedback from all our stakeholders.

If you would like to find out more about River Tyne Academy we look forward to hearing from you.

Rebecca MatthewsHeadteacher
