View: Pictures from the 1980s at Brunner Comprehensive School, Billingham



We’re going back to school north of the Tees this week with a peek into The Gazette’s archive of photographs from Brunner School, Billingham.


And it seems they were a very busy bunch - with pupils turning their hands to everything from fundraising for the Guide Dogs For The Blind Association, to completing the Lyke Wake Walk to belting out some opera.


A group of staff calling themselves Brunner Runners even took past in the Great North Run - our picture shows art teacher Sue Price printing special T shirts for the race.


Brunner came into being in 1972 when Bede Hall Grammar became a compehensive.


There were other secondary modern schools on the Marsh House Avenue site - Faraday, Davy and Stephenson - two merged and one became a college.


The school later became known as Billingham Campus.


Can you spot yourself in our pictures? Let us know what you remember of your school days at Brunner.
