History
"Church High", as the school is commonly known, was founded in 1885 by the Church Schools Company (now known as the United Church Schools Trust). It left the company in the 1920 and has been independent since, but retained ties with the Diocese of Newcastle and St Nicholas's Cathedral.
Church High was one of the North East's top performing independent schools in GCSEs and A Levels. In the 2010 GCSE league table, it was ranked joint third with Central Newcastle High School out of 100 schools in the North East. 98% of its candidates scored 5 or more A*-C grades that year.
On 29 January 2013 it was announced Church High would merge with the nearby Central Newcastle High School to form Newcastle High School for Girls in 2014. The schools merged in 2014.
