Worthing High School, West Sussex

Worthing High School is a secondary school with academy status located in Worthing, West Sussex. It caters to academic years 7-11 (ages 11–16) and has over 1050 students on roll. It was rated as good by OFSTED in its last inspection. History The school has its origins as the Bedford Row Pupil teacher centre, a private school for girls, in January 1905. Within two years, it also took school leavers other than pupil teachers. The school was taken over by the local council in 1909, moving to its current site in 1914. It operated at a girls school on this site, with a junior house in Shelly Road between 1918 and 1930, apart from an evacuation to New Ollerton, Nottinghamshire in 1941, until it became a girls' grammar school under the changes of the Education Act 1944. It remained as a grammar school until the local authority reorganised provision in the town along three-tier comprehensive lines in 1973, when it became a girls' comprehensive high school for students aged 12 to 16. At this time it became known as Gaisford girls' high school. The school became co-educational in 1982 when it merged with West Tarring Secondary School for boys, then becoming known by its current name. In 2008, the school became a Trust school under the rules of the Education and Inspections Act 2006. The school converted to academy status in December 2012. From 2015 it became a standard secondary school accepting its first cohort of Year 7 students since the 1973 reorganisation following the change in the age of transfer in Worthing. The school has been rated "good" with outstanding areas on its previous OFSTED inspection in April 2016. Notable alumni Notable faculty Nick Hallard - English artist known for his pub signs.

Worthing Hospital

Worthing Hospital is a medium-sized District General Hospital (DGH) located in Worthing, West Sussex, England. It is managed by University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. History Worthing's first hospital was a dispensary created in 1829 in Ann Street. A new dispensary was set up in 1845 in Chapel Road, which when enlarged in 1860 became known as the Worthing Infirmary and Dispensary. The Worthing Infirmary and Dispensary moved to the current site in Lyndhurst Road in 1882 and was given the name Worthing Hospital in 1902. The new East Wing was opened by Princess Anne in 1998. After concerns were raised that the hospital could lose some of its services, a series of marches and protest events were held in both Worthing and Chichester against the plans to downsize facilities. In May 2008, the West Sussex Primary Care Trust Board recommended that Worthing Hospital be the 'major general hospital' for West Sussex and that St Richard's Hospital in Chichester be downgraded. In 2016 Western Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (WSHFT) was rated as 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Marianne Griffiths, the Chief Executive, was named chief executive of the year at the Health Service Journal awards in November 2016, and the top chief executive 2018 and again in 2019. In 2019 Marianne Griffiths was made Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire. In April 2021 WSHFT (of which Worthing Hospital was formerly a part) and BSUH (Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals Trust) merged to become University Sussex Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Worthing Museum and Art Gallery

Worthing Museum and Art Gallery is in the centre of Worthing near the grade II* listed St Paul's. The building, which celebrated its centenary in 2008, was originally designed to house the town's library as well as the museum, the library section being funded by Andrew Carnegie. It is the largest museum in West Sussex. Collections and displays Worthing Museum and Art Gallery has one of the largest costume and textile collections in the UK. The 19th century and 20th century galleries display just a tiny fraction of the museum's contents. The current display in the 19th century gallery looks at the changing shape of women during the century. The 20th century gallery concentrates on women's fashions including pictures of local residents through the ages. There is also a small menswear display. The museum also holds records for all archaeological finds between the rivers Adur and Arun. This includes the John Pull Collection of Neolithic flint mines, shown on the television series Time Team, the Patching hoard of gold coins, an Anglo-Saxon long boat, and the Highdown Goblet – an Ancient Egyptian glass vase with an Ancient Greek inscription, found at the Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Highdown. The museum has over 900 dolls and a collection of toys from the Georgian period to the present day, in its Juvenilia collection, along with the Colin Mears Collection – 2000 objects documenting the history of 20th Century Childhood. It also has social history, numismatics, and fine and decorative art collections. Art collection Most of the works collected in the Museum's early years were by artists that had strong Sussex links. However there were exceptions include Nicholas Roerich, Hobbema, Wynants and a piece from the School of Bassano. The collection diversified to include the main movements in British painting and includes Bianca (1869), a painting by William Holman Hunt. There are also works by Lucien Pissarro and Ivon Hitchens. Sculpture is represented through works by John Skelton, Philip Jackson, Dora Gordine and Anthony Stevens who are all nationally recognised but have links to the region. The Museum acquired Skelton's The Diver (1970), a carving in walnut wood, in 2008. This was made possible through the V&A Purchase Fund and the Friends of the Worthing Museum. The Art Gallery regularly hosts visiting exhibitions such as Jon Edgar in 2010 and Dora Gordine in 2011, in association with Kingston University's Dorich House Museum. History From March 2025 to March 2026 the museum was closed while it underwent renovations and was given a connection to the Worthing Heat Network.` References External links Official website
MOD Worthy Down

MOD Worthy Down is a tri-service establishment in Winchester, Hampshire, England. It forms part of the wider Winchester Garrison and houses the headquarters of the Defence School of Logistics and Administration (DSLA), as well as the headquarters of the Royal Logistic Corps and Adjutant General's Corps. DSLA provides logistic support, personnel administration and leadership training to all three armed services. The site is north of Winchester, between the villages of South Wonston and Kings Worthy. The Royal Logistic Corps Museum is also located here. History An airfield was established here in 1918 for the Royal Flying Corps, and became RAF Worthy Down. In 1939 the airfield was transferred to the Royal Navy and used by the Fleet Air Arm until 1950, then as an engineering training school. The site was handed over to the Royal Army Pay Corps in 1960 and became home to the Electronic Accounting Development Unit, which housed its computer centre with its IBM 705 system there. The computer was used to process the 1961 UK census, which was the first to be processed electronically. With the merger of the Royal Army Pay Corps into the Adjutant General's Corps in 1992, the site became the headquarters of the Adjutant General's Corps and a training depot for members of the Staff and Personnel Support, Education and Training Services and Army Legal Service branches. The Defence Food Services School was built on the site in 2009. In 2012 the RAF School of Administration moved to Worthy Down from Southwick Park, near Portsmouth. On 9 June 2014 the Ministry of Defence announced that a new £250 million Defence College of Logistics, Policing and Administration was to be built at Worthy Down, with training facilities and living accommodation for up to 2,000 students and staff. The facility, which brought the training for key support roles for the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force onto a single site for the first time, was completed in 2018. References
Wortley High School

Wortley High School was a smaller than average secondary school which served an area of high socio-economic deprivation in the Wortley, Armley, and Bramley areas of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England, before it merged with local high school West Leeds High School. Before its merger it became an Arts College. The school opened in September 1992 as a replacement for Silver Royd Girls school. It was turned into a high school for both, In June 2009 the school announced it would be closing following a merger with West Leeds High School. The students had their last day on 17 July 2009. In September 2009 Students returned with both sites being Swallow Hill Community College. The site only lasted as Swallow Hill Community College for 2 years between 2009 and 2011. All students moved to the newest built Congress Mount site on 4 July 2011. Pupils A higher than average proportion of pupils were eligible for free school meals. The school accepted a number of pupils who were challenging or difficult to place in schools elsewhere in the district. Relatively few pupils were from minority ethnic groups but there was a recent increase in the number of pupils from refugee families. The number of pupils with English as an additional language was well below average. The number of pupils with learning difficulties and/or disabilities was higher than average, including the proportion of pupils who had statements of special educational need. Wortley was one of two schools in Leeds to provide a resource for pupils with complex speech and language difficulties. Organisation The school was part of a federation with a neighbouring school, with which it amalgamated in 2009 as part of the Building Schools for the Future plans in the district. Sixth form partnerships existed with neighbouring schools and were being developed to increase the range of provision for pupils aged 16 to 19. Replacement In 2006 West Leeds High School was told that it would be merging with Wortley High School to form one new school. This was said to be due to the falling birth rate in the local area. Both schools opposed the merger saying merging would create more faults than benefits. The new school is being built on the Congress Mount site. The Wortley High site will be used as an annex for the lower years until the school's admissions are reduced. In 2009 the school closed and merged with local high school West Leeds High School to form the new Swallow Hill Community College.

Wotton House

Wotton House, o Wotton, es una mansión de campo construida entre 1704 y 1714, ubicada en Wotton Underwood, Buckinghamshire, Inglaterra. La casa es un ejemplo del Barroco inglés y está catalogada como Grado I por Historic England. Historia de la casa Desde el siglo XII hubo una casa señorial en Wotton Underwood de la familia Grenville. En 1704 Richard Grenville (1644-?) construyó Wotton House en un sitio nuevo, en un montículo mirando hacia un lago natural. El diseño era muy similar al del Palacio de Buckingham que fue construido al mismo tiempo. El arquitecto es desconocido. Sir Howard Colvin sugirió que fue John Fitch, mientras que John Millar cree que podría ser Elizabeth Wilbraham.​ El parque fue diseñado por George London y Henry Wise con un parterre formal y una avenida doble de olmos que se dirige hacia el lago. Cincuenta años después William Pitt (el Viejo) y Capability Brown ampliaron la parquización a 200 acres e incorporaron dos lagos. Después de que un incendio destruyó casa principal en 1820, el dueño, Richard Grenville, 2º Marqués de Buckingham, y más tarde 2º Duque de Buckingham y Chandos, encargó a John Soane la reconstrucción. Después de que el 3º Duque de Buckingham, último directo heredero masculino Grenville, muriera en 1889, la casa estuvo abandonada a una sucesión de inquilinos. En 1929 fue comprada por el mayor Michael Beaumont MP y renovada por el arquitecto Arthur Stanley George Butler, cubriendo todos los detalles de Soane, incluyendo la tribuna central de tres pisos.​ En 1947 Beaumont vendió la propiedad a os Merchant Venturers of Bristol quienes dividieron las tierras en parcelas pequeñas y dejaron la casa principal para dos escuelas de niños. Hacia 1957 la casa estaba abandonada y estaba por ser derribada cuando Elaine Brunner la encontró y con la ayuda del arquitecto Donald Insall restauró la mayoría de los detalles diseñados por Soane.​ El Pabellón Sur (la antigua cochera) fue vendido por separado en 1947. Ha sido poseído por dueños notables como Sir Arthur Bryant y Sir John Gielgud, y ahora pertenece a Tony y Cherie Blair. El parque está abierto al público al menos un día a la semana durante los meses de verano. Se debe realizar una cita para visitar la mansión.

Wraysbury Baptist Chapel

Wraysbury Baptist Chapel is in the village of Wraysbury, Berkshire, England. The present day building was opened in 1862, but the chapel was first established in 1827. History The current chapel was opened in 1862. The Baptist mission in Wraysbury can be traced back 35 years earlier to the sole efforts of the chapel's first Pastor, William Thomas Buckland. Born and raised in Wraysbury, Buckland lived for several years in Holborn Bridge and Hammersmith, where he first joined the Baptist Church. On his return to Wraysbury in 1826, he found the moral and spiritual condition of the villagers to be in a deplorable state. The only place of worship was the parish church, the vicar of which resided at a distance. Extracts from Buckland's diary, reproduced in The Baptist Magazine, detail how he first rented a house for meetings, and invited local ministers, Mr Hall from Poyle and Mr Hawson from Staines, to preach on alternate Sundays. The first meeting was held on 20 May 1827 and in March, William opened the Sunday school to teach the local children. With ever increasing numbers, a new chapel was built and opening on 23 September 1830. The Baptist mission continued to flourish, and 'wishing to provide more commodious and beautiful accommodation', the old chapel was knocked down and a new one erected with a convenient schoolroom attached. The work cost £800 and was covered by donations within the year. Previously, Wraysbury had been regarded as an offshoot from Staines, but in December 1868, it decided that it was to become a station in its own right. Buckland was unanimously chosen to be its first pastor, a role he retained until his death in 1870. Others who became pastors included Arthur Shorrock, who married a relative of William Buckland. Today's Baptists Wraysbury Baptist Church was a member of Wraysbury and Horton Churches Together, along with St Andrew's, Wraysbury and St Michael's, Horton, until it closed in 2019. The last minister was the Rev. Carolyn Urwin who served from 2006 to 2019. The Parish Council purchased the chapel building and it is now used as a Community Hub.
