From the Wikipedia article

Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy (formerly Lord Lawson of Beamish Community School) is a coeducational secondary school and sixth form located in the town of Birtley in the Gateshead area of Tyne and Wear, England. It was first opened to pupils in the early 1970s and was rebuilt in September 2007. The new building was constructed by Sir Robert McAlpine. Previously a community school administered by Gateshead Metropolitan Borough Council, in March 2012 Lord Lawson of Beamish Community School converted to academy status and was renamed Lord Lawson of Beamish Academy. The school's principal is Andrew Fowler who began his headship in June 2019. It was most recently inspected by Ofsted in November 2022 where it was assigned a 'Good' grading (or 4/5 stars) in all areas of the framework.
