Our Lady of Sion School, commonly known as Sion School or just Sion, is a privately funded and independent school for male and female students, founded in Worthing, West Sussex, England in 1862 by the Sisters of Sion. Sion in Worthing is part of a world-wide network of schools founded by the Sisters of Sion. The school's current Head Master is Simon Orchard, who succeeded Michael Scullion in September 2015. The School has a number of well-known alumni, including Actors, Sportsmen, Politicians and Musicians. It has a very strong academic record. The school motto is 'Consideration Always'. == Overview == Our Lady of Sion day-schools approximately 530 children between the ages of 3 and 19 at a cost of about £9,000 a year. In the VIth form there are some scholarships provided for by the school and awarded by examination results each year;〔(Independent Schools: Schools with scholarships )〕 these students pay up to 75 per cent of full fees. Of the other pupils, up to a third receive some kind of bursary or scholarship. The original school was a girls only boarding school, with few students, and teaching undertaken solely by the Sisters of Sion. As the school grew, more students were allowed to attend provided that they paid their own fees and lived outside the school in parental or guardian accommodation. The Houses developed over time as a means of organising the larger number of students in attendance. There are three "houses" within the school; Gamma, Sigma and Delta, named after Greek letters. The house colours are Blue, Green and Yellow respectively, and students houses are identified by a respectively coloured stripe on the school tie. Heads of School (one boy and one girl) and House Captains (the selected senior pupil in each house) at one time wore badges to identify themselves, however this is not the case anymore. Those in Sixth Form are entitled not to wear uniform, but rather have a "code of dress" that is based less on what you can wear, and more on what you cannot. 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「Our Lady of Sion School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
