There were no absentees when Bellingham County Modern School, built by Maughan?s of Rothbury at a cost of ?10,000, was opened by Lord Eustace Percy. 350 children travelled from Redesdale, Kielder, Simonburn, Wark and most other parts of the North Tyne, some in taxis, others in private buses, and no one was late for school on the opening morning of term. In the summer of 1975, the school became a middle school.
