Overview

Longbenton Campus is the Newcastle base for Hopespring's therapeutic 11-16 provision. It supports mixed-gender pupils with social, emotional and mental-health needs and special educational needs, without boarding. Its registration, outcomes and local context are separate from the Hopespring provision in Sunderland.

English, literacy and reading sit beside maths, numeracy, personal development, PSHE and society. Emotional regulation, social communication, mental health and independence are treated as elements of learning, so therapeutic support and academic work are designed together rather than added in parallel.

Newcastle's 2023-24 outcomes include Functional Skills entries in English and maths, alongside GCSE outcomes. Those figures must remain attributed to Newcastle rather than pooled with Sunderland's. The September 2025 outcome is Outstanding; the February 2026 entry has no grade, so it cannot be read as a second result.

This is a specialist local route in which qualifications sit within therapeutic work. The separate registration and the difference between the two dated entries are material caveats when interpreting the available evidence.

Key points
Assessment route
Applications are made directly to the school. Check the school's own admissions pages for registration dates, entrance assessment stages, interviews, fees, scholarships and bursaries.
Places and demand
Published Year 7 place numbers and applicant-per-place data are not included in GIAS for this private-school seed profile.
Catchment
Private-school eligibility is not controlled by the local-authority grammar catchment model; check boarding, day-pupil, transport and any sibling or faith rules on the school site.
Results
Independent-school performance data is patchier in official releases, so GCSE and A-level comparisons should be checked against the school's published results.
