Bishopshalt School

Bishopshalt School is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status based in the London Borough of Hillingdon. It has specialisms in music and the performing arts. Since 2013 the school has been used for scenes in the BBC sitcom Big School (TV series).
==History==
The current building within which the school is housed was built in 1858.〔Pearce 2007, p.91〕 The school dates back to 1907, when it was first established as Uxbridge County School in the Greenway.〔Pearce 2007, p.89〕 It was designed by the architect H. G. Crothall for the Middlesex Education Committee. The Middlesex Education Committee purchased the present site for £6900 in 1925 and in 1928 the school moved there.〔 The original buildings in the Greenway became part of Uxbridge High School.〔Pearce 2007, p.94〕 On 6 October the school was officially opened by Sir John Reith, the Director-General of the BBC.〔Pearce 2007, p.95〕
Walter Wilks Sawtell was headmaster of the school from its founding in 1907 until 1929. He remained in the position to oversee the move of the school, before resigning to become rector of Madehurst in Sussex.〔Pearce 2007, p.97〕 The school name was changed to Bishophalt School in 1930 to acknowledge it was no longer in Uxbridge.〔Bowlt 2007, p.99〕 It is derived from the history of the site as for 500 years, the Bishops of Worcester rested at the grounds of the school on their journeys to and from London.
A Cierva C.19 Mk.3 Autogiro landed on the school field in July 1931, piloted by the Cierva Autogiro Company's Flying Manager Reginald A.C. Brie, a former pupil of the school.〔Pearce 2007, p.101〕 During the Second World War, the school was used for rallies and inspections of the local Girls' Training Corps.〔Pearce 2007, p.105〕 Randall's of Uxbridge, a local family-owned department store, donated three oak chairs to the school in October 1949.〔Pearce 2007, p.107〕 In 1969, the school's air raid shelters were removed and replaced by a car park. The shelters had been built in 1939 but remained because of the threat of the Cold War.〔Pearce 2007, p.111〕
The London Borough of Hillingdon held council meetings in the school hall while the Civic Centre in Uxbridge was under construction.〔Pearce 2007, p.117〕 In 1977 the school changed from a grammar school to a comprehensive.〔Pearce 2007, p.119〕
An episode of ''Jeeves and Wooster'' starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry was filmed in the school grounds.〔Pearce 2007, p.118〕 The school has also been used as a filming location, for the film adaptation of ''Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging'', directed by Gurinder Chadha, and the BBC comedy ''Big School''.
