Bournemouth School is a boys' grammar school and co-educational sixth form in Charminster, Bournemouth, Dorset, England, for children aged 11 to 18. ==History== The school was founded by Dr Fenwick, and opened on 22 January 1901, admitting 54 boys. The 1906 syllabus included natural science, drawing, vocal music, drill and gymnastics alongside history, geography, shorthand and book keeping. During the First World War, at least 651 young men who had been or were attached to the school served, and 98 of those died, while 95 were wounded. The old site was used by Portchester School from 1940 until 1989, when it again moved to another site. The old school building was then demolished and the houses built and named Fenwick Court, after the founder. From 1939 to 1945 the school housed over 600 students from Taunton School, Southampton, due to evacuation from large cities. A new library and sixth form block was built in 1966, housing a lecture theatre, language laboratory, library and smaller rooms for sixth forms classes. It is now home to the business studies department. The school hall was destroyed by a fire in 1973.〔 In the early 1990s, the science department of the school was expanded with two new rooms at the northern end of the main school building (Rooms 41 and 42). These rooms were built over the previously single-storey north-eastern wing of the main building and are suspended by steel beams over the original building. At the initial point of building, the suspended floor was notorious for rocking in the wind and even today, the flooring is noisy. The narrow northern stairway that originally served the drama room and Biology Room 40 was pushed into service as a through corridor for the rest of the first floor (via the suspended corridor) and as such carries far more footfall than it was ever designed to. This causes congestion at lesson moving times. In 1995 the Sir David English centre was built. The school has been expanded in recent years, including a new Technology & Art block featuring CAD and CNC machinery and the Sir David English Sports Centre, the legacy of former headmaster Alan Petrie. A new maths block was opened in February 2007, and is now used for maths and religious studies. From September 2012, the sixth form admitted girls for the first time. 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「Bournemouth School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
