Sir Roger Manwood's School is a coeducational grammar school with academy status located in Sandwich, Kent, England. It is one of 35 state boarding schools in England. ==History== The school was founded in 1563 by Sir Roger Manwood, an eminent barrister, jurist and supporter of the reformation of the Church in England. Manwood's intention was to create a free Grammar School to make education more accessible to the local townspeople. The original location of the School was at Ash Road in Sandwich but was moved to its current location at Manwood Road in 1895. There are four foundations which appoint Governors: Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, Lincoln College, Oxford, Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge and the Archdiocese of Canterbury.〔(Sir Roger Manwood's School, Sandwich, )〕 In 1960 there were 100 boarders. The school today mainly consists of day pupils, although there are approximately 50 boarders residing in the school grounds. The boarders are separated into two houses; ‘The Grange’ accommodating the boys and ‘The Lodge’ the girls. After a long-running tradition of being an all-boys school, girls were first admitted in 1982. The school has language college and computing status, specialising in teaching modern foreign languages and ICT. The school has a sporting rivalry with Dover Grammar School for Boys and Dover Grammar School for Girls. The school is known for its A-level results, beating most of their rivals.〔http://www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk/schools/103577/sir-roger-manwood-s-school#sch_tabs-1〕 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「Sir Roger Manwood's School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
