It started as Bishop Auckland County School for Girls, then became Bishop Auckland Girls’ Grammar School. In 1962 it amalgamated with King James I Grammar School (for boys) and became known as Bishop Auckland Grammar School. In 1974 it became the Bishop Auckland Comprehensive Secondary School (and Community Centre) and then King James I Community Arts College.
