Heworth Grange Comprehensive School is a comprehensive high school in the Gateshead area of Tyne and Wear, England. It educates over 1,500 students, aged 11-18, including a sixth form. The school has specialist status as an Arts College, attained in 2005. [ [http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-127851469.html "North gets 10 more specialist schools in bid to raise standards"] , The Journal, January 28, 2005] The Headteacher is Brian Huddart.

Development

This school was the first in the North East to be awarded funds under the Building Schools for the Future scheme, in February 2004. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolpda/ukfs_news/hi/newsid_3484000/3484053.stm "Cash for 'schools of the future'"] , BBC News, 12 February 2004]

There were proposals to merge this school with Thomas Hepburn Secondary School in Felling. [ [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/tyne/7012923.stm "Swipe-cards to aid pupil safety"] , BBC News, 25 September 2007] however such plans were curbed in the early stages.

Popularity

Most schools in the North East have falling roles. By contrast, this school has such a high reputation that it is consistently over-subscribed year on year.

A 15-year-old was eventually acquitted of his manslaughter at Newcastle Crown Court.
