Parents complained regarding division between the haves and have nots, and that a trip just three years previously to Flamingoland at a cost of £22 was cancelled 'it was deemed to put pressure on families who were under financial pressure.'〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-33047817〕 ==Notable alumni== *Alistair Ryder, Team GB *James Milner, England international footballer *Tonicha Jeronimo, actor *Matt Taylor, BBC weather forecaster 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.facebook.com/pages/Horsforth-School/134747706584226?sk=page_map )〕 *Alex Neilson, Trembling Bells () *Fiona Marshall (''née'' Kennedy), musician, Singing Knives Records *Katie Spencer, Oscar-nominated and BAFTA award winning, set decorator (''Pride and Prejudice'', ''Atonement'')〔http://www.oscars.org/awards/academyawards/82/nominees.html〕 *Chloe Davison, child actress (''4 O'Clock Club'') *Sanderson Lam, Professional Snooker player.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.worldsnooker.com/players/sanderson-lam/ )〕 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「Horsforth School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
