This history of this school is a little complicated. It has had quite a few different names, including South Shields High School for Boys, the Westoe Secondary School or Westoe Higher Grade School, South Shields Grammar-Technical School for Boys or the present-day Harton School. The school was founded as the South Shields Boys' High School on Mowbray Road (1885). Westoe Secondary School began in the Ocean Road Schools Arts and Science section (1887) and became the Westoe Higher Grade School (1890). South shields and westoe were combined in 1936 to form the South Shields High School for Boys in a custom-built building in Harton (1936). The name of the school was changed to the South Shields Grammar-Technical School for Boys (1955). I'm not sure if the addition of the name grammar meant that an academic stream was added to the curriculum. The school became Harton Comprehensive (1974). It had became co-educational (late 70s) and s now the Harton School, which is a co-ed comprehensive, with Technology College status.
