James Calvert Spence College is a coeducational community school and sixth form located in Amble in the English county of Northumberland.[1] The school is named after Sir James Calvert Spence, a decorated war hero and paediatrician.
The school was formed in 2011 from the merger of Amble Middle School, Druridge Bay Community Middle School and Coquet High School, originally serving 2 sites: South Avenue and Acklington Road, where South Avenue served as a middle school and Acklington Road a secondary school. The school is administered by Northumberland County Council[2] and has an intake of pupils from Acklington, Amble, Broomhill, Hadston, Red Row, Warkworth and Widdrington.[3]
The South Avenue site is no longer controlled by James Calvert Spence College, now split between Barndale-by-the-Sea (owned by Barndale House School in Alnwick) and King Edwin Primary School (formerly Amble First School at a different site).[4]
James Calvert Spence College offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils,[5] while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels, further BTECs and T-Levels.[6]
