About the School

Stockton-on-Tees is located on Teesside, close to the A1(M), A19, A66 and the main east coast railway line between Edinburgh and London. Darlington and Middlesbrough are just 15 minutes drive away, and Newcastle and Leeds can be reached in a hour. The North Yorkshire Moors, Yorkshire coast and Teesdale offer outstanding natural beauty, rich in rural and industrial heritage and opportunities for a variety of leisure pursuits.

Grangefield School is located in extensive school fields, adjacent to the town ring road and opposite its cricket ground. The attractive and substantial main buildings date from the 1940s and comprise Stockton Boys’ and Stockton Girls’ grammar schools which stood next to one another. Modern additions include a Sports Hall, Library and Technology Block.

The original brick, sandstone and Cumberland slate buildings face out over the playing fields and are constructed around four well-planted quadrangles, providing a distinctive and stimulating learning environment. Many areas of the school have been extensively refurbished; a new extension for the Design and technology block was completed in 2005. The school field and grounds provide us with 11 tennis courts, 2 football pitches, 2 rugby pitches, 2 hockey pitches and 2 artificial cricket wickets.

There has been substantial investment in ICT over the last few years. There are fully equipped ICT suites used exclusively by ICT (6 rooms), Mathematics, Modern Languages and Humanities. There are also many other subject areas with in-class ICT provision, including Art, Music, Design and Technology and Science. Many curriculum areas have access to interactive whiteboards and data projectors.

The facilities are greatly enhanced through the Teesside City Learning Centre, providing state of the art ICT facilities, which is located on the school site.
