Hall Garth Community Arts College, originally Hall Garth School, was a secondary school in Acklam, Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England.

Contents

The students of the school came from areas with higher than average levels of socio-economic deprivation. The number of students from minority ethnic groups, and those with learning difficulties and disabilities, were well above average. [1]

In 2000, it became a performing arts school and, in 2007, was renamed to Hall Garth Community Arts College from Hall Garth School. [2]

Fatal stabbing incident

Hall Garth was the scene of a fatal stabbing, on 28 March 1994, when Stephen Wilkinson burst into a maths classroom and stabbed several children including 12-year-old Nikki Conroy who died from her injuries. In October 2003 a permanent police presence was established on site. Wilkinson was subsequently convicted of manslaughter and was sentenced to indefinite detention at a psychiatric hospital. [3] A school memorial garden was opened for Nikki, in March 2004. [4] [5]

Anti-bullying initiatives

The school established several initiatives in order to tackle bullying. The students made a video of an anti-bullying theatre performance in December 2004. [6] Then in May 2005 the school hired an anti-bullying co-ordinator and set up a peer support group of older pupils. [7]

Closure

Hall Garth Community Arts College and King's Manor School formally closed in 2010 and were replaced with Oakfields Community College.
