The Forest School is a comprehensive secondary school for boys in Horsham, West Sussex. It educates approximately 1100 boys between the ages of 11 and 16 and is a specialist Engineering and Business and Enterprise College. It is one of only three maintained boys' schools in West Sussex, and liaises closely with Millais School, the girls' school in the town. It was formerly an 11-18 secondary modern school, becoming an 11-16 comprehensive in 1976. == History == The school began its life following the separation of the Oxford Road senior school into separate schools for boys and girls in the mid-1940s. The boys' school - then named Horsham secondary modern school for boys - moved to its current campus in Comptons Lane in 1954. In 1958, the girls' school was relocated to a nearby site, and both schools were renamed under the Forest name, leading to the opening of the Forest secondary boys' school. In 1976, education in the town was reorganised to form three comprehensive schools and a separate sixth form college in place of the existing grammar and secondary modern structure. The Forest school was reconstituted as an 11-16 boys comprehensive, with sixth form provision moving to The College of Richard Collyer.〔 In 2008, the past 'Houses' (Tudor, Stuart, Lancaster, and York) were disbanded, and new "communities" were formed (Dyson, Hawking, Branson and Marconi respectively). The School has also introduced a 'Vertical Tutor Group' system, which was put into practice June 22, 2009. At the end of 2009 (The Forest School Radio was launched ). The radio itself is run by students, and the episodes are downloadable podcasts usually available weekly. On Friday the 23rd of April 2010 the (redesigned school website was launched ) complete with virtual learning facilities, which are now used mostly for homework and revision material. The website was created by Cleverbox,〔http://www.cleverbox.co.uk/36/website-showcase〕 who also designed other materials for the school, including prospectus designs and van artwork.〔http://www.cleverbox.co.uk/35/portfolio〕 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「Forest School, Horsham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
