It included a five form-entry co-educational grammar-technical school, Bede Hall Grammer School, and 3 secondary modern schools 'Faraday Hall', 'Davy Hall' and 'Stephenson Hall'(an older school on Hale Road Billingham. In 1965 it was agreed to combine the whole site into one comprehensive school which took place in the late 1960s. Bede Hall Grammer school was demolished and the older building 'Stephenson Hall' became 'Bede 6th Form college'. Faraday Hall and Davy Hall are now Billingham Campus
The rest of the Billingham Campus is now Billingham Campus School and Arts College, an 11-16 comprehensive school.
