The College

We are very proud of what we have achieved. We are the school of choice in Hartlepool, with a waiting list in all Key Stage 3 year groups and staffed by well qualified, supportive members of “Team Tunstall”.

Our new £18m, state-of-the-art College building opened in November 2019 meaning we now have the facilities to ensure we get the outcomes for young people that they desire. As a College we were first rated Good by Ofsted in June 2016, which was reconfirmed in their section 8 visit in July 2021. We are very proud to be recognised in this way.

Our Ethos

At High Tunstall, our vision is that we inspire and support our learners to achieve their potential. We do this by developing our High Tunstall Learners within our community.

‘As High Tunstall Learners we INSPIRE one another by getting involved, being imaginative and enjoying challenges. As High Tunstall Learners we SUPPORT one another by showing respect, being positive and having pride in our community. Together, as High Tunstall Learners we can ACHIEVE. The High Tunstall Learner – Embrace Every Opportunity’

We develop High Tunstall Learners by instilling our Magnificent 7 character traits within all in our community. There are 3 Personal Development characteristics and 4 Learner Development characteristics.

Facilities

The facilities that we have are unbeaten within Hartlepool Secondary Schools and a visit is recommended to see just how good they really are.

The College is proud of its place in the community and under the "Tunstall Active" badge offers much in terms of facilities to all in the town. All of our facilities are accessible to the wider community which include a swimming pool, hydrotherapy pool, community gym, refurbished MUGA and new 3G football pitch.
