Ralph Thoresby School
The original Ralph Thoresby buildings were built around 1975, and remained the school's premises until September 2007. This previous campus was strategically built as part of the district centre, and so the leisure centre and the library were actually, as well as being fully accessible to the public, a part of the school's premises.
Holt Park Library and Ralph Thoresby High School were re-built on a new site off Holt Dale Approach (south), with the opening in September 2007. The old school buildings have since been demolished and the area cleared, although what will replace it remains unclear. This is one in a long line of North Leeds secondary schools to be rebuilt, following Lawnswood School and Roundhay School to name but two.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“At school boys become gluttons and slovens, and, instead of cultivating domestic affections, very early rush into the libertinism which destroys the constitution before it is formed; hardening the heart as it weakens the understanding.”
—Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797)
