The school closed when it was amalgamated with Bec School in 1970 to create Bec-Hillcroft Comprehensive School. Bec-Hillcroft was renamed Ernest Bevin School, after the former Labour minister Ernest Bevin, the next year. In 1996 the school was renamed Ernest Bevin College.

History

Following its establishment, Hillcroft School enjoyed a substantial amount of academic success and the school supported a large sixth form, especially during the years 1966–1970. A considerable number of boys achieved good O- and A-Level results, with many going on success at University, the Civil Service and the professions. The school had a substantial prefect system which was considered helpful advancing pupils' maturity.

The school was organised into four houses, each of about 250 boys: Churchill, Faraday, Shaftesbury and Wellington. The school enjoyed a certain distinction at sports, with activities including five-a-side football, lacrosse, hockey and swimming.

From 1962–1970, the school was under the headmastership of John Owen, and the Senior Master was Tony Leech.
