Links With Other Schools
It entertains a strong link with the local boys' grammar, Sir Thomas Rich's School. The two schools provide discos for the younger pupils (Years 7 and 8), and this promotion of communication leads to close friendship between High School girls and 'Tommies' boys. In the Sixth Form, many girls choose to attend the boys' school, and vice versa, as a result of the differing academic strengths of each school.

Famous quotes containing the words links with, links and/or schools:
“All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity—their links with their dead and the unborn.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
“Nothing is more indispensable to true religiosity than a mediator that links us with divinity.”
—Novalis [Friedrich Von Hardenberg] (1772–1801)
“To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.”
—Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
