Caistor Grammar School is a selective school with academy status in the English town of Caistor in the county of Lincolnshire, England. The school was founded in 1630. It has since grown to be one of the most respected and highest performing schools in the East Midlands. The school has been awarded specialist sports and humanities status. The current Headmaster is Roger Hale, who took up the position from Trevor Foulkes in January 1996, but who arrived at the school in September 1992 as Deputy Headmaster. At present, Caistor Grammar is ranked first in Lincolnshire according to GCSE and A Level results in 2013. It has gained 100% 5 A * to C grades for the last four years running (and in 12 of the last 15 years) and has topped Lincolnshire A level tables for the last ten years. The school was ranked 32nd of all schools in the UK in 2013. 〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-25849548〕 In December 2010, as part of new government scheme to award high performing schools, Caistor Grammar School changed from a foundation school to an academy. == History == Caistor Grammar School is an endowed school dating from the reign of Charles I. The Dissolution of the Monasteries in the reign of Henry VIII had destroyed the principal sources of education of the times, and the numerous schools endowed throughout England during the following reigns are evidence that public-spirited men recognised the need created and endeavoured to meet it. Among others was Francis Rawlinson, of South Kelsey, who died in 1630, bequeathing money to endow a school at Caistor, and William Hansard of Biscathorpe, who supplemented the original gift in 1634. The monies given were invested in the purchase of land at Cumberworth, and of the rectorial tithes of Bilsby, of which the governors are still lay impropriators. The original trustees were Sir Edward Asycough of South Kelsey, Sir William Pelham of Brocklesby and Sir Christopher Wray Baron of Glentworth (Lord Chief Justice of England), and Johnathon Beltwick. Other trustees shouldered their responsibilities from time to time until 1885 when, under the Endowed Schools Act 1869, the Foundation was placed under an elective body of governors, the Vicar of Caistor being an ex-officio member. In 1908, the school was recognised by the Board of Education. On 11 November 1931 it celebrated its tercentenary in the presence of Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. 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「Caistor Grammar School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
