Taken in 1999 at the rear of the school the boys department was to the left, the girls to the right.
The playground did, until it was part of the 6th Form College, have a brick wall to separate boys and girls and,certainly in the 1960s and before, children were often reprimanded for talking to the opposite sex through the gate. The additonal brickwork above the Boys and Girls rear entrances were added circa early 1950's for the Senior Boys Headmaster and the Senior Girls Headmistress

Location
This school opened in 1906 and closed in 1974. When it was opened, the boys and girls from the Upper Grade School in Park Rd were transferred from there to the new school and for a number of years it was the Upper Grade School.
Before demolition in 2001, it was part of Hartlepool 6th Form College until 1999 and was primarily the art department. A care home has been built on the site.
