[edit] History
The school was formed when Northumberland County Council changed to the three-tier education system in 1973[2].
The site on which Gosforth Central stands was formerly used by Gosforth Grammar School[3], until it became Gosforth High School and moved to the other side of the Great North Road in 1973. The Grammar School building was used by Central, until it was replaced in 2004. The school is opposite the Regent Centre business complex and Regent Centre Metro station, with the vehicle entrance on Criston road.
