Salterbeck School
Salterbeck School was a school in Salterbeck, Workington, Cumbria, England.
The school opened in 1954. In 1984, there was a merger of a number of schools in the area.
The following schools either closed or changed name:
- Workington Grammar School closed in 1984, and became Stainburn School. Stainburn School is now known as Workington Academy since being merged with Southfield Technology College.
- Moorclose Boys School closed in 1984 and became Southfield Upper site. At this point in time the school is now the 6th Form Centre.
- Newlands School closed in 1984 and was demolished in the late 1980s, and Newlands Nursing Home was built on the site.
- Lillyhall School closed in 1984 and was demolished in the 1990s. The site is now occupied by Lakes College.
In 1984, Salterbeck School changed its name to Southfield School and occupied two buildings, the old Salterbeck School and the old Moorclose Boys School. Pupils had to walk between the lower and upper schools for various lessons until they reached their 4th year. At that point the pupils were permanently at the Southfield Upper School.
Southfield Upper closed permanently in July 2015 and its staff and pupils moved to Workington Academy at the Stainburn site which opened in October 2015 following the merger of Southfield and Stainburn Schools.
