## History

All Saints College was an 11 to 18 Church of England faith school with foundation status in West Denton, Newcastle upon Tyne, England. 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, and two middle schools. It was jointly founded and administered by the Diocese of Newcastle, Newcastle City Council and Newcastle University. In 2006 it became a specialist school in Business and Enterprise and in 2010 it became a trust school, forming the All Saints Church of England College Trust in May 2010. 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. The new Studio West opened in September 2014.
