Prudhoe Community High School is a coeducational high school and sixth form located in Prudhoe, Northumberland, England. Situated on Moor Road, Prudhoe, pupils range from year 9 to year 13 (years 12 and 13 being sixth form). The school was opened in 1958, starting with over 400+ pupils, and has expanded over the years. The school now serves around 1,000 students. In September 2016 the new all in one school building opened its doors. This replaced the old, outdated campus buildings. The Old School Building The school used to consist of several buildings and departments (housed within 'blocks'). The main school building was where the maths, languages, and sciences departments were based, as well as ICT rooms, the Contemporary Arts department, the music department, and part of the PE department. Other buildings included the humanities block, where the student support areas (Pastoral and Learning Support teams), finance office, and administrative staff were based. It was also where the Humanities department, consisting of history, geography, and ethics, was based. The block also housed the Drama department and a Police Office (which was staffed by Northumbria Police). The school included an English block, a Sixth form study area, a DT and Business and ICT block, an Engineering building, and a full sports hall and gymnasium. The Art Building was opened by HM Queen Elizabeth II in May 1998. The old sports hall used to include a squash court, a fitness room, and a large gym with cricket batting nets, two small and one large basketball court. In the main building there was also a gymnastics hall. The school had on average one IT classroom per department (with art, maths, and contemporary arts departments being the only departments not to have an IT room). New School Building In March 2015 it was announced that Prudhoe would be getting a full new school rebuild following years of campaigning by a range of organisations and individuals including the local authority, representatives from the High School, local elected representatives and the wider local community. The tender for the building work was won by Sir Robert McAlpine who carried out the main construction. Various other contractors worked on the site including Owen Pugh and Armac Demotion. The new building came at a cost of around £12.5m. Building work on it officially begun in the end half of 2015 and opened in September 2016. Located on the existing
