To facilitate career development in the arts, we offer Music, Drama, Art and Graphics A Levels in our Associated Sixth Form based at Emmanuel College.

We want students at Grace College to take every opportunity offered to develop a lifelong love for and enjoyment of the arts, understanding that their creative and artistic skills can create career opportunities with extended study.

  • Create a positive, creative learning environment in the classroom
  • Fully immerse yourself in the varied co-curricular and events programme at the college
  • Develop and foster the appropriate skills and social abilities to enable the optimum development of children
  • Assess and record progress and prepare pupils for national tests
  • Link pupils' knowledge to earlier learning and develop ways to encourage it further, challenging and inspiring pupils to help them deepen their knowledge and understanding
As an 11–19 secondary school serving nearly 1,300 students in central Gateshead, we have a clear vision for excellence in character education, the examined curriculum and in service to our community, grounded in our strong Christian ethos. We are part of the Emmanuel Schools Foundation, which opens exceptional opportunities for knowledge sharing and career development.

We have a clear model for school improvement to provide an outstanding education for all students and are relentless in the pursuit of this goal. You will be central to delivering our strategy as you transform both the school and our students’ futures.

Join us, and in addition to working with committed and helpful colleagues, the Trust can offer access to the following benefits:
