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:
“The white gulls south of Victoria
catch tossed crumbs in midair.
When anyone hears the Catbird
he gets lonesome.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
“Human life in common is only made possible when a majority comes together which is stronger than any separate individual and which remains united against all separate individuals. The power of this community is then set up as “right” in opposition to the power of the individual, which is condemned as “brute force.””
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
