:''Not to be confused with Twyford School. Twyford CofE High School is a co-educational Church of England Academy School located in Acton, West London. It consists of just under 1400 pupils aged 11–18 (with over 500 students in the Sixth Form)〔http://www.twyford.ealing.sch.uk/welcome/〕 and prides itself on its "academic, social, spiritual, sporting, dramatic and musical" achievement.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Twyford ) 〕 Twyford has specialisms in music and languages. On 1 October 2011, the school converted to academy status and is now operated by the Twyford Church of England Academies Trust ==History== Twyford High School was purchased from the London Borough of Ealing by the London Diocesan Board for Schools and established in 1981 and is one of a family of 13 LDBS secondary schools within the city. The school opened as the result of a concerted campaign by local parents. One of the school buildings, The Elms, is the oldest surviving building in Acton. It was built by Charles Morren in 1735 as a Baroque country villa and has been occupied by various wealthy citizens. In 1954 it ceased to be a private home. There were plans to demolish it but the former local council, Middlesex County Council, opposed it and bought the house to be used as a school. An extension was added to house new classrooms. In 1981 it was taken over by the new Twyford C of E High School The name "Twyford" comes from the Twyford Brook that runs underground near the Elms, and literally means "Two Fords". This same brook is connected to Twyford Abbey in the West Twyford area of Ealing.〔West Twyford〕 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「Twyford Church of England High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
