Hanley Castle High Schoolとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Hanley Castle High School, formerly called Hanley Castle Grammar School, was probably founded in 1326, making it one of the oldest schools in England. For much of the 20th century it was a boys grammar school that grew from about 50 to around 200 day-pupils and boarders. In 1972, the school opened its doors to girls. In 1974 it became a mixed gender, voluntary controlled comprehensive school and it started to intake pupils at age 14 on transfer from the Hill School in nearby Upton-upon-Severn. The school reverted to being an 11–18 school in the 1990s and the population of students grew over time to the present number of about 900. The school serves a large area including Hanley Castle village itself, the nearby town of Upton upon Severn, and other local villages including Hanley Swan, Welland, and Castlemorton. It is one of the three major state secondary schools for children from the Malverns with a catchment area stretching from Castlemorton to Earls Croome and from Kempsey to Eldersfield, and is a designated language college.
