Ysgol David Hughes is the largest Secondary School in Anglesey, Wales. The school building was completed and opened in Menai Bridge in 1963 by Anglesey County Council which, ten years earlier (in 1953), had become the first education authority in the UK to adopt non-selective comprehensive education.〔"Two Centuries of Anglesey Schools" by David A Pretty (A.A.S. 1971)〕 The new school in Menai Bridge catered for all the secondary pupils in South East Anglesey who up to then had been educated four miles away in Beaumaris, the former county town of Anglesey. ==Beaumaris Grammar School== The Welsh name "Ysgol David Hughes" (David Hughes's School) is derived from that of the founder of the original Beaumaris Grammar School established 350 years earlier in the reign of Elizabeth I in 1603. Other than by nomenclature however "Ysgol David Hughes" in Menai Bridge has no connection whatever with the original Beaumaris Grammar School or with its founder, David Hughes. In 1953 the ancient Beaumaris Grammar School was combined with Beaumaris Secondary Modern School to become "Beaumaris Comprehensive School". When plans were announced to move the entire school away from Beaumaris to Menai Bridge there was considerable opposition from the people of Beaumaris to what they considered to be the arbitrary closure of their old school and the end of the centuries old tradition of secondary education in the town.〔"North Wales Chronicle" 1953-1963〕 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「Ysgol David Hughes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
