Aldro is a preparatory school in Shackleford, near Godalming, Surrey, England. It caters for about 240 boys between the ages of 7 and 13. The ''Good Schools Guide'' called the school an "Extremely popular and successful traditional prep school," also stating "It is a somewhat eccentric world with some delightfully eccentric teachers, and makes a welcome home for boys of every variety."〔(The Good Schools Guide )〕 ==History== Aldro was founded at Meads in Eastbourne in 1898 and moved to its present home in 1940. The oldest buildings on the site were originally part of Hall Place (later known as Shackleford House), built for Edgar Horne, a wealthy company director who was the Member of Parliament MP for South West Surrey from 1910 to 1922 and made a Baronet in 1929. They were converted by the school during and after the Second World War. A large, timbered barn, for example, became the school chapel, and was consecrated in 1949. It survived a fire in the 1970s. A former workshop next door became the science laboratory, and the estate’s potting shed became a carpentry workshop. The current Headmaster is David Aston, and the Deputy Head is Chris Rose. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aldro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
