Hookergate School was a secondary school and sixth form located in High Spen in the Metropolitan Borough of Gateshead, England.

The school was formally merged with Ryton Comprehensive School in 2011, and was renamed Charles Thorp Comprehensive School (now Thorp Academy). The new school operated over both of the former school sites until 2012 when the school relocated completely to the former Ryton school campus.

The site upon where the school was located had been used for filming of BBC Children programs such as Wolfblood and an offtake of Tracy Beaker however the school campus is now no longer required and has been put for sale for development.

The school campus is up for sale with the offers closing on November 18 to be sold as a 'development opportunity'.
