History

All Saints College was an 11 to 18 Church of England faith school with foundation status in West Denton, Newcastle upon Tyne, England.[2] It was established in 2002 as a Fresh Start school, replacing West Denton High School and Firfield Community School, with it being located on the site of the former,[3] and two middle schools. It was jointly founded and administered by the Diocese of Newcastle, Newcastle City Council and Newcastle University.[4] In 2006 it became a specialist school in Business and Enterprise and in 2010 it became a trust school,[5] forming the All Saints Church of England College Trust in May 2010.[6] After a negative Ofsted inspection in 2014, Newcastle City Council closed the school and allowed the neighbouring Kenton School to establish a new studio school on its site.[7] [8] The new Studio West opened in September 2014.[9]
