Heathfield School is a small independent non-denominational day school in Wolverley, near Kidderminster in Worcestershire, England, for boys and girls aged five to 16 years.〔(Heathfield School page ), Independent Schools Council.〕〔(ISI Inspection report September 2008 ) Retrieved 25 July 2009.〕 The school is a registered charity, governed by a board of trustees, formed as the Heathfield Educational Trust in 1970. The school also has its own on-site day nursery for babies from three months and a pre-school facility for children of rising 3–4 years of age. The school is a member of the Independent Schools Association〔(List of schools in the Midlands ), Independent Schools Association.〕 and the Independent Schools Council.〔 The School is divided into four sections: Senior School, Junior School, Lower Junior School, and Nursery and Day Nursery, Heathfield also has a School Newspaper which is released each term. ==History== Heathfield School has its origins in 1620 when Wolverley Grammar School was founded by William Sebright.〔 This was renamed Sebright School in 1931 when it occupied new buildings on a greenfield site opened by the then local MP Stanley Baldwin who shortly afterwards became prime minister.〔"Arrangements for to-day", ''The Times'', London, 10 October 1931, p. 15.〕 Financial difficulties forced the school to close down in 1970,〔"School to close", ''The Times'', London, 21 February 1970, p. 3.〕 and its main premises became a state school (now Wolverley C E Secondary School). However, its junior section which had opened in 1961, remained in existence and has extended its age range up to 16.〔(Old Wolverians Association ) web page.〕 Heathfield now has an international affiliate in Bangkok, Thailand, the former Lord Shaftesbury School, now renamed Heathfield International.〔〔Richard Vernalls, ("Hands across the world" ), ''Malvern Gazette'', 11 March 2008.〕 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「Heathfield School, Wolverley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
