South Camden Community School
Regent High School (RHS), formerly South Camden Community School (SCCS), is a co-educational comprehensive secondary school in Somers Town, in the London Borough of Camden, England. The name was changed in 2012 in an attempt to shed what staff feared was a "negative perception" of the school rooted in its past. Formerly, from 1951, it was known as Sir William Collins Secondary School for boys only. Since 2011 the school has been involved in an extensive rebuilding and refurbishment programme which will be completed in 2013. The school's accreditations include Healthy Schools, Sportmark, Leading Parent Partnership award and International Schools status. The last Ofsted inspection for SCCS published in July 2011 rated the school as 'satisfactory'.

Famous quotes containing the words south, community and/or school:
“If you are one of the hewers of wood and drawers of small weekly paychecks, your letters will have to contain some few items of news or they will be accounted dry stuff.... But if you happen to be of a literary turn of mind, or are, in any way, likely to become famous, you may settle down to an afternoon of letter-writing on nothing more sprightly in the way of news than the shifting of the wind from south to south-east.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“when Mrs Kindhead comes to collect for the Community Chest
grab her and tell her There are unfavorable omens in the sky!
And when the mayor comes to get my vote tell him
When are you going to stop people killing whales!”
—Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
“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)
