Wyedean School
Wyedean School and Sixth Form Centre is a secondary school with academy status in Sedbury, Gloucestershire, England, just across the border from Chepstow, Wales. The school is close to the A48 road and less than a mile from the Welsh border and as such, it accepts pupils from across the border.
Wyedean School is a mixed comprehensive school, with 1,242 pupils, including 250 in the Sixth Form. It was first set up in 1973 and was then moved in 1976 to its present location. The school is located in Gloucestershire, and falls within the English, not Welsh, education system. Although most of its pupils live in the Forest of Dean area of England, some travel from within Wales.
It was also the school of J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter Series.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“The difference between de jure and de facto segregation is the difference open, forthright bigotry and the shamefaced kind that works through unwritten agreements between real estate dealers, school officials, and local politicians.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
