Walbottle Campus was formed in 1973 (though officially opened in 1960) by the Tyne and Wear County Council (defunct) following its creation in the same year. The school was formed by the merger of Walbottle East High School, Walbottle West High School and Walbottle Grammar. These schools were formed by the Northumberland Education Committee on the Walbottle Campus site as part of an attempt to save money. They only shared outdoor facilities but occasionally students would receive lessons at another of the schools. In 2005, all of the middle schools in Newcastle upon Tyne were closed (excluding Gosforth Junior Academy). Students of Chapel House Middle School, Lemington Middle School, Chapel Park Middle School and Throckley Middle School were placed in either Walbottle Campus or their original primary school. Walbottle Campus is currently a maintained comprehensive school of Newcastle LEA with no plans to become an academy In 2008, a new building opened, replacing the former three buildings. It operates under the Newcastle LEA Two Tier system and most pupils come from several local feeder primary schools. Walbottle Campus is overseen by Newcastle City Council and the Board of Governors which is chaired by Dr. David Cook. == Location, Site and Mergers== Walbottle Campus is located in Walbottle Village, on the outskirts of Newcastle upon Tyne. Over the years, the school has seen several mergers. In 1973 Walbottle East High School, Walbottle West High School and Walbottle Grammar School were merged to form Walbottle Campus (the name of the site). Later, in 2005 on the closure of Newcastle's middle schools years 7 and 8 at many of these school joined Walbottle. Most of the assets that belonged to these schools were transferred to Walbottle. On the merger, there was not enough space on the main campus. Therefore, a satellite campus was opened in Chapel House. This closed in 2008 with the opening of a new multimillion-pound building which would contain all of the students as part of a £35million PFI deal. The building was built in 2 Phases. Phase one included Blocks A - F as well as the library, both cafes and the main hall. Phase 2 opened in 2009 with H block and new outdoor PE facilities. Between 2009 and 2010 the old buildings were demolished. There is also a Sporting Pavilion feature Cricket Changing facilities a Sure Start Children's Nursery and Meeting Rooms. The site is owned by Aura North East which owns and operates the site as well as all Newcastle BSF schools. Walbottle Campus Hires the facilities, with the school having been rebuilt under a PFI Design, Build, Finance scheme. Aura also hires out facilities to other organizations for community use. The blocks of the Main Building include; A Block (light blue)- Business Studies, Hairdressing, Sixth Form & Inclusion. B Block (red)- Humanities. C Block (green)- English & MFL (French & Spanish).
