From the Wikipedia article
Whickham School is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in Whickham (near Gateshead) in Tyne and Wear, England. Formerly known as Whickham Comprehensive School, it opened in 1962 as a replacement for the small, 'all-age' Victorian school in the village centre; a much larger school was required due to the large house-building programme that was taking place. It holds around 1700 pupils between the ages of 11-19 and has 300 members of staff. It offers a range of vocational and traditional qualifications at Key Stage 4 and 5, including GCSE, BTEC, and A-Level.
