James Calvert Spence College

James Calvert Spence College is a coeducational community school and sixth form located in Amble in the English county of Northumberland. 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 and has an intake of pupils from Acklington, Amble, Broomhill, Hadston, Red Row, Warkworth and Widdrington. 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). James Calvert Spence College offers GCSEs and BTECs as programmes of study for pupils, while students in the sixth form have the option to study from a range of A-levels, further BTECs and T-Levels.
