King David High School, Manchester

The King David High School, also known as King David High School in Crumpsall, Manchester, England, is a mixed, voluntary aided Jewish Orthodox academy school with a specialism in mathematics and computing. History The school was opened on 7 September 1959, after the Manchester Jews' School in Cheetham moved to Crumpsall. In 2004, the school's bid to relocate to the Heaton Park area was opposed due to area conservation and increased traffic concerns. In 2016, it was named as one of the top performing comprehensive schools in England in the GCSEs by The Daily Telegraph. The school was downgraded from the top Ofsted grade to the bottom in 2019 after inspectors had concern for the school segregating its students based on faith and gender, saying there was "unlawful segregation on the grounds of faith and belief and sex". Inspectors also found that time allocated to art, drama, food technology, and music was more for female pupils than for male pupils. In 2022, inspectors found that a "significant minority" of students did not feel like the staff treated them with respect. It received an Ofsted report of "Requires Improvement" in 2023. In 2025, the school was named no. 6 in the list of top comprehensive secondary schools in the North West References External links Official website
King Ecgbert School

King Ecgbert School is a co-educational secondary school with academy status (age range 11–18) in the village of Dore in the south-west of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. The headteacher (from January 2017) is Paul Haigh . The school is named in honour of King Egbert of Wessex, who became recognised as overlord of England at Dore in 829. Originally opened in 1957 on Furniss Avenue as a girls-only secondary technical school, King Ecgbert eventually became comprehensive in 1969 when it amalgamated with Abbeydale Secondary School and Greystones Secondary when they were closed down. About half its intake comes from local primary schools in Dore and Totley (for example Dore Primary School, Totley All Saints and Totley Primary) and much of the remainder from the Sheaf valley, running from Dore and Totley to the city centre. The School celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2019, and threw a party to celebrate the occasion along with former students being invited back to the school. Features After two years under construction, a new three-storey building was opened to students in Easter 2005. Previously the school had been split between two sites, 'Mercia' and 'Wessex'. This building has space for Year 7 - 11 students, Sixth Form students, a drama studio and an astroturf with an indoor sports hall, known as the “Jessica-Ennis Sports Hall”. In March 2024, the school opened its brand-new Sixth Form building, opened by the Lord Mayor of Sheffield. The school was given good grades in an Ofsted report, rising from 'good' to 'outstanding' in May 2013. The school used to be a Specialist Technology College, until it became an academy in 2012. In 2013, the school's Sports Hall was renamed to the 'Jessica Ennis Sports Hall', after its Alumna, the Olympic gold medallist Jessica Ennis DBE The old 'Mercia' School site was demolished in 2005, and construction of a housing estate was completed on the site in 2019, but the school still uses the playing field which was left intact adjacent to the school's original position.

King Edward VII Orthopaedic Hospital, Sheffield

The King Edward VII Orthopaedic Hospital was a hospital in the Rivelin Valley area of Sheffield, England. The hospital closed in 1992 and the building has been converted into residential apartments. History The King Edward VII Orthopaedic Hospital owed its existence to the fondness that the people of Sheffield had for King Edward VII who died in 1910. On his death a fund was set up and the population of the City raised £18,000 in his memory with the organisers expressing a desire that the money should be used to build a hospital school for crippled children. Sheffield City Council provided extra funds when it was found that £18,000 was not sufficient to build the hospital and the Duke of Norfolk presented the land in the Rivelin Valley on which it was to be built free of charge. Building work began in 1913 with the foundation stone being laid by the Duchess of Norfolk. W.A. Kenyon was the architect and despite delays caused by the First World War the hospital opened early in 1916 and had around 120 beds along with the associated treatment rooms and operating theatre. The hospital was known as the King Edward VII Hospital for Crippled Children until 1948 and it treated patients with tuberculosis, rickets, congenital deformities and poliomyelitis. The hospital pioneered Ultraviolet ray and vitamin treatment under the orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Creswell Lee Pattison. In 1944 some of the children were moved out of the hospital to allow treatment of wounded soldiers; in the same year the hospital was recognised as a nurse training hospital. When the National Health Service was set up in 1948, the hospital was renamed the King Edward VII Orthopaedic Hospital and placed under the administration of Sheffield No. 3 Management Committee. Further expansion followed with two new ward blocks being constructed along with a workshop for the splint makers and bedrooms for the residential staff. In 1956 a hydrotherapy pool was installed, paid for by the Greaves Charitable Trust. The hospital closed in September 1992 and has now been converted into apartments. The main hospital building along with the boiler house, entrance lodge and the octagonal outbuilding are all Grade II listed buildings. References

King Fahad Academy

King Fahad Academy (KFA; Arabic: أكاديمية الملك فهد بلندن) was a private school in Acton in the London Borough of Ealing that provided an Islamic-based education for children aged from 3 to 18. The school was on the former site of the Faraday High School (closed in 1984). It was a registered charity under English law, and the chairman of the board of trustees was Khalid bin Bandar Al Saud (born 1977). The school was founded in September 1985 under the authority of King Fahad Bin Abd Al-Aziz Al-Saud and catered to the children of Saudi diplomats, Arab Muslims, and the local community in London. In February 2007, the school was featured on BBC's Newsnight programme. The school's director, Dr. Sumaya Aluyusuf, defended the use of Saudi textbooks describing religions other than Islam as "worthless" and comparing their adherents to pigs and monkeys. The books were later edited, and the controversial descriptions removed as they were found to not adhere to Islamic beliefs of equality and peace. The school was financially supported by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since its inception. Due to a lack of funding, the school closed at the end of the academic year 2022/23 as alternate funding was not established. Despite pushback from the Director General, the news regarding the closure was announced internally to staff on Tuesday 2 May 2023, and to parents by the trustees of the school on Friday 5 May 2023.

King George's Fields (Monken Hadley)

King George's Fields is a 28-hectare (69-acre) Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade II, in Monken Hadley in the London Borough of Barnet. It is one of many King George's Fields all over the country, established as memorials, following the death of King George V in 1936. The King George's Fields Foundation was established to give grants for the establishment of playing fields, the work of the foundation is now undertaken by charity Fields in Trust. King George's Fields (Monken Hadley) has been legally protected since July 1955. Habitat The site consists of a patchwork of fields, intersected by overgrown hedgerows, narrow strips of woodland and small streams. There are a number of magnificent old oaks, and breeding birds include sparrowhawk, stock dove, bullfinch, willow warbler and chaffinch. There are also a number of common butterflies and the uncommon chimney sweeper moth. The Shirebourne brook runs north–south through the fields. Location There are entrances from Hadley Green Road, Burnside Close and South Close. On the other side of Hadley Green Road is Hadley Green, the traditional site of the Battle of Barnet in the War of the Roses in 1471. The London Loop walk passes through the site.

King George's Park

King George's Park is a main park spanning Wandsworth and Southfields, South London. History The park was originally called Southfields Park and was laid out in 1922. It was officially opened by King George V in 1923 and renamed in his honour. The park previously contained a 165 feet (50 m) long open-air swimming pool and children's paddling area constructed in 1936 which eventually closed in 1993 and the site redeveloped with an indoor tennis and bowls centre. In the aftermath of World War II nearly 100 prefabricated houses were constructed in the middle of the park, providing homes to roughly 400 people. The buildings remained for 18 years before their eventual removal, at which point the land was returned to the park. In June 1952 officers of Special Branch arrested Soviet agent William Martin Marshall in King George's Park. One of the park's footpaths – Foster's Way – is named in honour of Victoria Cross recipient Edward Foster. Details The park is about 770 metres (2,530 ft) long, north–south, with an average width of 120 metres (390 ft). It covers approximately 55 acres (22 ha). The Wandle forms the eastern boundary. It has three areas of approximately equal size. In the north is a leisure area; in the centre is a play area; in the south are sports fields. The leisure area includes formal gardens, a bowling green, tennis courts, a wild-fowl lake (at one time with row boats), and shaded paths with many seats. As this is less than five minutes' walk from the main shopping area of Wandsworth, it is, in summer, a great place for eating picnic lunches. The play area has a pavilion where children's play sessions are held (the One O'Clock Club). Also there is an ecological site and an adventure playground. There are paths for walking and for cycling, and a wide open grass field for ball sports, formal and informal. The Wandle trail passes through the park. Along its path, it is possible to walk nearly 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) in a natural area save for crossing one minor road. The park can be entered through gates at the north and south ends, and on the east via a footpath with its own bridge across the Wandle.

King George VI Reservoir

The King George VI Reservoir sits between Stanwell Moor and Staines upon Thames, south-west of Heathrow, England. It is between Staines Moor and a north–south road abutting the Staines Reservoirs. The reservoir was opened in November 1947 and named after the then reigning monarch George VI. It is owned by Thames Water. Construction and statistics It occupies 350 acres (1.4 km2) and holds 3,493 million gallons (15,880,000 m3) or, per The Times, 4,466 million gallons. The top of its banks are 56 ft (17 m) above the surrounds. The enclosing bank crest measures 5.23 km. Like its Lower Thames siblings, it is of earthen dam build: a puddled clay lining and embankments from materials excavated on site, particularly ballast (heavier aggregates). It has been built-up from dry land as the eastern Thames Basin lacked sufficiently watered, largely unpopulated, agriculturally unprized vales to be dammed near to which conveniently coal-supplied treatment works and pipes to London could be built. A tendered bid for the work – at £1,292,000, equivalent to £76,100,000 in 2025 – was accepted in July 1937. The contractor was John Mowlem and Co. Limited. World War II use when empty The reservoir was completed in 1939 but was left empty due to the outbreak of the Second World War. It is reputed that a mock Clapham Junction railway station was built inside to confuse the Luftwaffe. The reservoir was used for fog dispersal experiments for an aircraft landing in fog or smog technique, FIDO. It was formally opened by King George VI on 7 November 1947. Local economic history The land purchase was likely connected with gravel extraction locally. Four such firms were digging for aggregates in Stanwell in 1956, employing nearly 100 people. Operation, sheep and notable birds This and the Staines Reservoirs, built 1902, receive their input from the Thames at Hythe End, Wraysbury above Bell Weir Lock and the mouth of the Colne Brook. The reservoir's inlet valve tower is south, north of a pumping station; the outlet one is east, being gravity-fed. Input and output are to and from the Staines Reservoirs Aqueduct, feeding the Water Treatment Works at Kempton Park and another at Hampton. To ease inspection of banks, a flock of sheep is kept on them which keeps them close-cropped. It is part of the Staines Moor Site of Special Scientific Interest. The reservoirs carry (are habitats for) nationally large wintering populations of tufted ducks, pochard, goosander and goldeneye.

King George V Playing Fields, Totteridge

King George V Playing Fields, also called King George's Field, is an area of playing fields of approximately 14 acres (5.7 ha) in Totteridge in the London Borough of Barnet. It is located southeast of the junction of Barnet Lane and Dollis Brook. Following the death of King George V in 1936 the King George's Fields Foundation was established to give grants for the establishment of playing fields, the work of the foundation is now undertaken by charity Fields in Trust. The Totteridge fields were originally the third largest of all King George's Fields at 93 acres (38 ha), and the Foundation gave a grant of £3,000 towards the total capital cost of £62,335. King George V Playing Fields, Totteridge have been legally protected since July 1943. The rules of the Foundation required permanent preservation of the area as a King George's Field as a memorial to the king, but less than a fifth of the original size remains. The Master Atlas of Greater London shows King George's Fields extending west across Barnet Lane into what is now a farmer's field, and there used to be two 'King George's Fields' logos on stone plinths in the entrance to the field, but in 2012 the plinths were vandalised and the logos removed. North of the current King George's Fields is an area of public open space called Barnet Playing Fields, an area of 72 acres (29 ha) laid out in 1926. It is unclear whether this was ever part of King George's Fields. Since 2016 it has been the home of St Kiernan's GFC, one of London's leading Gaelic football clubs.
