About Walker Riverside Academy

A very warm welcome to Walker Riverside Academy and thank you for your interest in the positions we have available at Walker Riverside Academy.  

Walker Riverside Academy serves the community of Walker in Newcastle Upon Tyne and is an oversubscribed 11-19 secondary school with 1100 students on roll with that number predicted to increase in coming years.

We help our students to aim high, be proud and love life, in both their academic and career aspirations, supporting them at every step and guiding them upon options available. It is the daily embodiment of this ethos that makes Walker a truly special school community, with unique opportunities for involvement in the Combined Cadet Force, the TCAT Football Academy, and a growing post-16 partnership to deliver A-Levels at a local Trust partner school North East Futures UTC.

The Academy has a curriculum with many unique aspects and a vision that students should be Globally Aware, Culturally Aware, Self Aware and Life Ready with Ambition.  The four ‘awares’ are the cornerstones of the well-considered curriculum intent.  We want our students to be proud of both themselves and the school community they attend, whilst developing a love of Academy life.  The investment in passionate pastoral and academic support for our young people ensures that we create an atmosphere in which we laugh and learn together. With all students being attached upon entry in Year 7 to one of three schools: Dobson, Grainger, or Stephenson, a sense of belonging and community is created from the outset.

At the heart of Walker Riverside Academy is its talented and dedicated staff.  They are its most valuable asset, and they uphold ambitious educational standards which prepare all students for the next phase in their education and life and provide care, guidance, and support in a learning environment characterised by high standards of behaviour and mutual respect.  Our Academy is always striving for brilliance and now is a fantastic time to become part of our Walker community, and our wider Tyne Coast Academy Trust.
