URL last accessed on 05-09-2014 ).〕 In 1882, Sir Samuel Marling offered £10,000 towards the building of the school, and the school also inherited a number of endowments from the Red Coat School which was founded in 1642 by Thomas Webb, the St Chloe School founded at Amberley by Nathaniel Cambridge in 1699, and the educational charities established in the 17th and 18th centuries by William Johns and Robert Aldridge. The left hand side of the school shield contains the Marling family crest while the right hand side relates to the marriage of Samuel Stephens Marling to Margaret Williams Cartwright of Devizes.〔Marling School 1887 to 1987 W. Oliver Wicks Pub 1986〕 The new school opened to fee-paying pupils in 1889 and in 1909 the school became a public secondary school. Its endowments, along with those of the Stroud School of Science and Art and the Stroud High School for girls, were placed under the administration of a body called the Stroud Educational Foundation.〔(Stroud - Education | British History Online )〕 The original buildings were built shortly after the school's foundation. In 1965, the school was amalgamated with the Stroud Technical School for Boys which had been founded on a neighbouring site in 1910. The Technical School buildings now form the Art and Drama departments.〔〔(Downfield Sixth Form Continued )〕 Following the appointment of Dr Stuart Wilson as the new headteacher in 2010,〔"(New Headteacher Appointed )" URL accessed on 2011-12-31.〕 Marling School converted to an academy in August 2011. 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「Marling School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
