Cleadon Hills Free South Tyneside Visitor Guide 2017

The Famous Five

As you’re out and about exploring all South Tyneside has to offer, don’t forget to keep your eyes peeled for these five fabulous local landmarks.

Cleadon Windmill. Whether or not you buy into the ghost stories, make sure you see this 200-year-old ruined windmill as you’re exploring Cleadon Hills.

Souter Lighthouse. The first lighthouse in the world designed and built to be powered by electricity is not only a marvel of engineering – you’ll love the views from the top.

Marsden Rock. One of the most recognisable sights on this beautiful stretch of coast, this towering rock formation in Marsden Bay is home to a significant seabird colony.

The Eye. Among the most iconic of South Tyneside’s outstanding selection of public art, make sure you peer through The Eye for stunning views of the pier and the sea.

Hebburn Central. This £13 million development, which includes swimming pools, sports and dance halls, a library and cafe, has picked up national awards for its impact on the community since opening two years ago, and its architecture is truly striking.

South Tyneside College Course News

Home > Tyne & Wear > South Shields > South Tyneside College

South Tyneside College have announced that they are scrapping A-levels.

The “gold standard” qualifications will no longer be offered from September, with the college instead focusing on vocational provision.

About 90 students and 17 lecturers are affected by the changes.

School-leavers who want to take A-level courses will now have to fight for a place at one of the borough’s two sixth forms or travel to Sunderland, Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead or North Tyneside.

Entrance to South Tyneside College St George's Avenue South Shields NE34 6ET

A South Tyneside Collegee spokesman said “We have decided to reshape, strengthen and expand our curriculum to focus on vocational education that meets the needs of employers and universities.

We strongly believe this will provide our students with an excellent and ‘best possible’ career route into higher education and employment.

This means we are replacing our A-level provision with more vocational-led courses.”

Students who have applied to take AS-levels at the college, in St George’s Avenue, South Shields, in September will be offered vocational alternatives.

Those who are due to progress to A2 – the second year of their A-levels – will be able to complete their studies at the college.

Business lecturer John Heywood, branch secretary of the Universities and Colleges Union (UCU), said the A-level team was informed of the move at a meeting on Thursday.

Staff have been told they will be redeployed.

He said “I think it is tragic that we lose our gold standard provision.

These are the courses that will get students into university.

I think it is an absolute tragedy for the borough, the college, students and staff.”

The number of students taking A-levels at the college has dwindled from almost 300 in 2009 to just 48 now, with a further 36 doing other courses, plus an A-level to enhance their main course.

The college’s A-level pass rate last year was 99.1%.

It said “every possible support” is being given to current and prospective students, and that it is liaising with other A-level providers to give them a full range of alternative options.

Harton Technology College in Lisle Road, South Shields, NE34 6DL and St Joseph’s RC Comprehensive School in Mill Road, Hebburn, NE31 2ET are the only other sixth form providers in the borough.

Whitburn C of E Academy in Nicholas Avenue, Whitburn, South Tyneside, SR6 7EX has been granted permission to open a sixth form from September 2014, but plans are in the very early stages.

Three secondary schools…

Boldon School in New Road, Boldon Colliery, NE35 9DZ

South Shields Community School (formerly Brinkburn Comprehensive School) in Nevinson Avenue, Whiteleas, NE34 8BT

and

St Wilfrid’s RC College in Temple Park Road, South Shields, NE34 0PH – offer some post-16 provision.
