St Ursula's School was a Catholic private school in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, England. It consisted of a Junior Department and Senior Department, providing education for pupils up to age 16. In 2010, St Ursula's went into administration after it became financially unviable due to falling pupil numbers.〔 It was temporarily saved by Bristol City Council, which bought the school site, and Oasis Community Learning, a subsidiary of the Oasis Trust. This led to the opening of Oasis School Westbury as an interim measure during the 2010/2011 academic year. Oasis Community Learning operated the school with a one year lease and closed it in July 2011. At the start of the 2011/2012 academic year, Bristol Council allocated the site to St Ursula's E-ACT Academy, the first primary academy in Bristol.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bristol.gov.uk/press/children-and-young-people/provider-confirmed-first-bristol-primary-academy )〕 In January 2015, St Ursula's was given a good rating by Ofsted which remains sponsored by E-ACT 〔http://www.stursulas.co.uk/uploads/pdfs/final%20report.pdf〕 ==History== The school was named after St. Ursula, the patron saint of young girls and students. Opened in 1896 by the Sisters of Mercy,〔 St. Ursula's was originally a girls' boarding school. The school stopped accepting boarders in 1927. During the Second World War, the cellars served as air raid shelters to the population of Henleaze and in 1942 the school was bombed and evacuated. Much of the school was destroyed by the bombing, but was re-built in 1948.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.educationbase.co.uk/index.php?id=CC0502 )〕 In 1972 the school underwent major changes when the convent was converted into classrooms and subject rooms. Also in 1972, the Board of Governors took responsibility for the strategic management and policies operated by the school, including its financial affairs and facilities.〔 In 1986, the Gym/Sport's Hall for Games Lessons and the community was opened after contributions from parents. The school retained close links with the Sacred Heart Catholic Church positioned at the rear of the school but lessons were not taught by the nuns after 1988, when the Sisters of Mercy withdrew from independent education in the UK and the school was taken over by an educational trust. The first lay headmistress was Margaret McNaughton who served until 2005. Under her leadership the school began to accept boys, first in the Junior School and then in the Senior Department in 1996. At this time the Sixth Form was closed due to inadequate numbers. In 2005, Lynette Carter, who previously had served as Senior Mistress of the Junior Department, took over command of being Headmistress. She continued as headteacher when the school became Oasis Westbury. 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「St Ursula's School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
