Farnham College is a sixth form college in Farnham, Surrey, UK. It is located on a single campus in a residential area just to the south of Farnham town centre, and is now a foundation college. The majority of its land is leased from the Farnham College Foundation, which is governed by a board of trustees, four of whom are college governors. The College offers a wide range of A-level and vocational qualifications and also caters for students with physical disabilities and special learning needs. == History == Farnham College was formerly Farnham Grammar School and it was created some time before 1585 (the date of a donation being made by a Richard Searle "to the maintenance of the school in Farnham"). It is possible that this ancient school dated back as far as 1351 when a chantry was created at Farnham Castle, but there is no documentary evidence of this. The school benefited over the years from bequests by different people as well as the generosity of Bishops of Winchester who occupied Farnham Castle over the centuries. In 1905, the town centre assets of the school were sold in order to purchase and build a new school in fields to the south of the town. In 1973, under Government education reforms, the school gave way to the present Farnham College. Farnham College is Farnham's first sixth form college, and opened in September 1973 from the amalgamation of Farnham Grammar School for boys and Farnham Girls' Grammar School. At the same time the local secondary schools became 13 to 16 comprehensive schools. Former students include the television reporter James Mates and the sociologist Carl R May. The college was established on the site of Farnham Grammar School, initially using the existing buildings. The Girls' Grammar School building in Menin Way is now home to South Farnham School. In 2007 a merger took place between the college and Guildford College.〔(History of Farnham College )〕 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「Farnham College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
