History

The school opened as All Saints Voluntary Aided Church of England Secondary School and initially accommodated 600 pupils. From September 2009 the admission number to year 7 had been increased to 140 pupils. The school was built through PFI funding. The original PFI Provider (Robertson Construction North East) have recently sold the investment on to another company making a reported £1 million profit. The ''Evening Gazette'' on 22 November 2011 in an article on PFI said "Stockton Council has one PFI contract, for the Ingleby Barwick Community Campus which features All Saints School, Myton Park Primary School, and a library. The deal is worth £33.9m for the remaining 17 years of the contract. The private contractor Robertson North East says the complex is worth £9m on its website." All Saints provides places for less than half of the children of secondary school age currently living in Ingleby Barwick, with most of the remainder. In May 2013 All Saints school became an Academy, renaming to "All Saints Academy".
