Choosing a school / setting
Settings outside of South Tyneside
South Tyneside Council wants all children to be educated within the local area, so they can maintain friendships with their peers, and stay connected to their community.
In some circumstances, it may be necessary for your child to attend a setting that is out of the local area.
This may be at your discretion, or in limited circumstances, where a child must attend a specialist setting outside of the area due to their significantly complex needs.
Choosing an education setting outside of the area may have a significant impact on you and your child.
The Council recommends that you consider all factors when choosing a setting for your child, including transport, cost and travel time.
