Wellfield Middle School is located in Whitley Bay, North Tyneside, serving the areas of Wellfield, Earsdon and Monkseaton.

In 1993, South Wellfield Middle School and other schools were threatened with closure by North Tyneside Council with a view to reducing surplus places.

When grant-maintained status was abolished, it became known simply as Wellfield Middle School.

Pupils at Wellfield complete their KS2 SAT tests in Year 6.

Wellfield, along with all other schools in England, have their results published on the DfES website.
