Bishop Douglass School is a mixed Roman Catholic secondary school with a sixth form located in the London Borough of Barnet. The school first opened in 1963 as a secondary modern facility and later became a comprehensive school. ==History== The original headmaster, Michael Caulfield, was at the time of his appointment the youngest head teacher of any school in the UK. Around 1990, he was succeeded by his deputy John Meadows. In 2002 an interim headmaster, Mr Kelly, followed Mr Meadows for one year when the school was threatened with closure. His influence was credited with improved standards across the board before Ms Angela Murphy took over in the following year. At the time of Ms Murphy’s appointment in 2003 the school was under 'special measures'. Since this date standards have consistently improved. Bishop Douglass was taken out of Special Measures following HMI Inspection in December 2005 and in its most recent Ofsted Inspection the following comments were given “a Good school of which students, parents, staff and governors are proud of” 〔(OFSTED summary for Bishop Douglass School 2008 )〕 A Diocese of Westminster inspection of 2008 concluded that “Bishop Douglass is a good Catholic school”〔(Diocese of Westminster summary for Bishop Douglass School 2008 )〕 The School was granted Specialist Science College status which came into effect in September 2007. In February 2009 the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust recognized Bishop Douglass’s consistent raising of results by awarding it Most Improved status. Bishop Douglass's status as a Specialist Science College was renewed in July 2010. In April 2014, Angela Murphy retired as Headteacher after 10 years at the school. She has been replaced by acting headteacher Martin Tissot, currently executive head of both St George's Roman Catholic Secondary School in Maida Vale and St Thomas More Catholic School, Wood Green. In April 2015, the school re-proposed the idea of converting into an Academy from 1 September 2015. 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「Bishop Douglass School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
