School for students from 10 to 18 y o: better to divide the school in two sections?

I am an architect, I m working on a project for a school for students from 10 to 18 years old in Europe. I am doing some research and I would like to have also your opinion. Concerning possible social issues, bullying , and educational topics, do you think that it would be better to divide the school in two different sections, one for students from 10 to 14, the other one for students from 15 to 18? Or are there reasons to say that it would be better to have a mix?

I am concerned about some “communal areas” like the wardrobe for example, where the teachers are not present and a mix of students with a big difference in age could maybe be problematic.

What is your opinion? Anyone has experience about this topic?
