Pupils from Lillyhall, Moorclose, Newlands School, either went to Southfield or Stainburn School.
In 1984, Salterbeck School changed its name to Southfield School and occupied two buildings, the old Salterbeck School and the old Moorclose Boys School. Pupils had to walk between the lower and upper schools for various lessons until they reached their 4th year. At that point the pupils were permanently at the Southfield Upper School.
Southfield Upper closed permanently in July 2015 and its staff and pupils moved to Workington Academy at the Stainburn site which opened in October 2015 following the merger of Southfield and Stainburn Schools.
