In 1905 the school was renamed Bede Collegiate School, with separate Boys and Girls' Schools,and in 1927 the foundation stones were laid for new school buildings on Durham Road, current site of Bede Campus of Sunderland College. Following the 1944 Education Act the two schools became Grammar Schools: the Girls' School had around 500 girls in the 1950s, and by the 1960s the Boys' School had over 900 boys. In 1971 Bede School became a co-educational non-selective Comprehensive School, closing in 1991 a year after celebrating its centenary. Both the Boys' and Girls' Schools of the original school and the successor Comprehensive School were referred to, locally, as Bede School or In more recent years, after the closure of the Shiney Row campus in August 2014 Bede Campus is now the specialist centre for the sports and visual and performing arts courses. The campus is equipped with language and science labs and large-scale computer sites and provides facilities to assist students with their studies, careers or with university progression.{{citation needed|date=February 2018}} The Bede Campus is home to both Sunderland Sixth Form and the Sports Academy and the Visual and Performing Arts building.
