Longbenton High School was part of the North-West Cluster, which also includes George Stephenson High School and Seaton Burn College.
History
The school was originally built in, and opened officially for the new year in September 1953. It was originally named after Thomas Addison and the girls and boys were kept separate. What is now East was the girls' side, and what is now West was the boys' side. What is now the HMT block was the girls canteen. At some point, likely in the 1960s, the school was turned into a mixed college and became known as Longbenton High School.
Some time ago the school decided to reach out into the community and started adult teaching classes, often outside of school hours. It then became known as Longbenton Community High School. Eventually that became Longbenton Community College. As of September 2016, it is known as Longbenton High School.
Library
The library was the only room that can be used exclusively by Longbenton High School students. It has computers and a wide range of reading material.
