In 1984, Salterbeck School changed its name to Southfield School and occupied two buildings, the old Salterbeck School (which was called Southfield Lower) and the old Moorclose Boys School (which was called Southfield Upper). Pupils had to walk between the lower and upper schools for various lessons until they reached their 4th year (reach the age of 14). 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.
