Cardinal Hume is a Voluntary Aided Catholic Comprehensive School providing for the educational needs of 11-19 year old students from East Gateshead.

The children and staff of Cardinal Hume Catholic School (formerly St Edmund Campion) are housed in a £24 million state of the art school built on a new greenfield site (Whitehouse Lane).

The school is designed to accommodate 1200 students. The new school is a landmark building ‘jam packed’ with the latest available technology.

Students, staff and the community benefit from a purpose built bespoke design that has the education, welfare and comfort of its primary users (the children and staff) at its core.

Head Teacher: Mr. N Hurn
