North Shore Academy, Stockton-on-Tees

The North Shore Academy is a secondary school in Stockton-on-Tees, North East England. The school was opened in 2010, and replaced Blakeston School and Norton Comprehensive School. The main campus of the Academy was situated on the old Blakeston School site. The academy has now moved to a new site on Talbot Street, Stockton-on-Tees. The school's name was changed from North Shore Health Academy to North Shore Academy in September 2012, following the change of sponsors from NHS Stockton to the Northern Education Trust.
