Alcester Grammar School

Alcester Grammar School (AGS) is a co-educational 11-18 maintained selective grammar school, situated in Alcester, Warwickshire, England. On 1 April 2011, Alcester Grammar School became the first school in south Warwickshire to achieve academy status. History AGS was known as "Newport's Free School" from about 1592 until 1912 because Walter Newport provided in his will for the endowment which, in early years, paid the schoolmaster's stipend and enabled the scholars to be educated free of charge. Newport was a nephew of Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor in 1597, and a relative of Robert, second Earl of Warwick. In 1912, the new coeducational school now known as Alcester Grammar School, on the site in Birmingham Road came into use. In 2012 AGS marked its Centenary with a host of celebratory events. Admissions For admissions at age 11 to Year 7 of the school, the Governing Body participates in the Local Authority’s co-ordinated admissions scheme for maintained secondary schools. Admission to Year 7 is determined by the performance of candidates in an entrance examination and by the availability of places. Only students who attain the required standard in the prescribed arrangements for selection by reference to ability or aptitude will be eligible to be considered for admission to the school. In September 2013 AGS increased its intake to 120 into Year 7, resulting in a 4 form entry of 30 students per form. Since September 2016 the PAN for entry in year 7 has been 150 students, resulting in a 5 form entry of 30 students per form. The priority circle for South Warwickshire Grammar Schools is based on the traditional area for application. It is based on a circle with a radius of 16.885 miles running from the Fountain in Rother Street, Stratford-upon-Avon to the County boundary south of Long Compton. Sixth form At age 16 (sixth form) additional students from a range of local schools are admitted. School achievements In 2012 Ofsted graded the school's Mathematics department as Outstanding.

Aldenham Country Park

Aldenham Country Park is a 175-acre (0.71 km2) parkland and woodland, including Aldenham Reservoir. It is now part of the Watling Chase Community Forest, near Elstree, Hertfordshire, England. Aldenham Reservoir was excavated by French prisoners of war in 1795 to help maintain local river levels after the Grand Union Canal was built. It is held as a reserve public water supply. The park supports walking, fishing and sailing activities, has playgrounds, Special Needs Centre and a Disney-backed Winnie-the-Pooh theme area.

Aldenham Reservoir

Aldenham Reservoir is situated in the parish of Elstree and Borehamwood in Hertfordshire, England, about one mile (1.6 km) to the west of the village of Elstree. It is the source of the stream, Tykes Water, that runs north through Radlett. History It was built between 1795 and 1797 by the Grand Junction Canal Company, to control the water levels in the River Colne following the construction of the Grand Junction Canal, and was hand dug by French prisoners of war. An inspection report on the condition of the reservoir's dam in September 2019 revealed it to be a stable structure and in good condition, but requiring longer-term repair. Originally, the reservoir was 65 acres (260,000 m2) in extent, but following repairs to the dam its surface area was reduced to 55 acres (220,000 m2). Since 1973 the reservoir has no longer been required for drinking water. Access The reservoir has been used for recreational purposes, including fishing and sailing. However, following an inspection of the dam in 2019, the current owners dropped the water level to reduce pressure on the structure. The sailing club was, as a result, no longer able to sail, handed back its lease in 2020 and departed. This also raised questions about the future use of the reservoir. There have also been suggestions that public access will be reduced with the reservoir fenced off from Aldenham Country Park.

Alderley Old Hall

Alderley Old Hall is the remaining part of a former 17th-century manor house near the village of Nether Alderley, Cheshire, England. It stands adjacent to the mill pond of Nether Alderley Mill, a loop of which acts as a moat. The hall is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. It is constructed partly in brick, and partly in timber framing, and represents an addition to the original hall, which was lost in a fire. History The Hall was built in Alderley Park in the early 17th century for Sir Thomas Stanley, High Sheriff of Cheshire for 1571–72, who then made it his family seat. Stanley had purchased the manor of Nether Alderley and other lands from Sir Edward Fitton of Gawsworth for £2,000. His son Sir Thomas Stanley, a barrister, was made a baronet at the Restoration, and was High Sheriff of Cheshire in 1630. He made many improvements to the hall, including the construction of a stone-arched gateway at the front, extensive stables and the planting of beech woods near the mere. Following a severe fire in 1779 the baroque frontage of the hall was demolished and a new hall constructed to the south of the park, which has also since been largely demolished. Alterations were made to the remains of the old hall in 1912 by Edmund Warre and the building remains occupied. In 2011 the owner committed suicide in the barn after an armed robbery at the premises and financial pressures. The property was valued at £5m.
