History

In December 1998, a student died of brain damage following a playground fight. A 15-year-old was eventually acquitted of his manslaughter at Newcastle Crown Court. [2] [3] A memorial dedicated to pupils exists on the campus to remember them.

There were proposals to merge the school with Thomas Hepburn Community School. [4] however such plans were curbed in the early stages. Initially the sixth form merged with Thomas Hepburn school but that ended with the closure of the partner school.

Heworth Grange Comprehensive School was the first in the North East to be awarded funds under the Building Schools for the Future scheme. [5] The Science and technology block was completed in 2011 and the new Entrance block which contains admin and dining and refurbishment of arts facilities was completed in March 2012. The older of the two sports halls was refurbished in December 2012.

Previously a community school administered by Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council, in February 2018 Heworth Grange Comprehensive School converted to academy status and was renamed Heworth Grange School. The school is now sponsored by Consilium Academies.

Heworth Grange previously operated a sixth form provision, but this has been discontinued as from 2020/21.
