Cardinal Hume Catholic School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in the Beacon Lough area of the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, England.[2] The school is named after Cardinal Basil Hume, a former President of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.

Previously a voluntary aided school administered by Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council, Cardinal Hume Catholic School converted to academy status on 1 February 2012. The school is supported by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle but coordinates with Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council for admissions.

Cardinal Hume Catholic School offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels, Cambridge Technicals and further BTECs.[3]
