School Site
The current site of the school at Denmark Road is not the original; the school relocated to the present location some 26 years after it was first established in Bearland House, closer to the city centre. In January 2009, the school celebrated its 100th anniversary at the site in Denmark Road.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or site:
“It is not that the Englishman can’t feel—it is that he is afraid to feel. He has been taught at his public school that feeling is bad form. He must not express great joy or sorrow, or even open his mouth too wide when he talks—his pipe might fall out if he did.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
