Pointless Question of the Week #2

[Halfmad]

The location is fine;

 

Shame about the vile 12 mile, 40-60 minute drive each way, five days a week! Saturday it only takes 20 mins, so I want the whole school moved closer to home, scenery and all!

 

Takes me 7 - 8 minutes to get to work in the morning

It takes me 40 - but that's because I cycle....except when it's raining, when it takes me 5 thanks to the internal combustion engine.

5 minute walk up the road and through an alleyway.

[Ben_Stanton]

3 minute walk down an alley way - pass the local (village owned) pub and through the back gate into the rose garden...to the main building the Knights Templar lived...its true! My office is actually in the original dungeon!

 

A bit about the school - then i'll shut up.

 

Originally located in Ealing, London, the College moved to the Temple Dinsley estate in 1935.

 

The main building is a magnificent Queen Anne mansion dating from 1714.

 

At the turn of this century, the celebrated architect Sir Edwin Lutyens was commissioned to enlarge the house and redesign the formal gardens.

 

More recently, in 1995 much of the fine building was modernised and refurbished.

 

The Dower House is located a short walk from the main building. In January 1992 the Dower House was opened as a new Sixth Form House, following extensive renovation and the building of a new wing.

The historic houses are complemented by: a separate classroom block, a modern science centre and a spacious sports hall.

 

All subsequent buildings and developments at the School are sympathetically undertaken.

 

The formal gardens and the 183 acres of parkland provide an idyllic, safe and tranquil learning environment for our girls. The grounds include all of the School’s sports facilities and are also used to inspire artists and challenge scientists! The formal rose garden, where the influence of Gertrude Jekyll is plainly evident, is a stunning location for girls and staff to relax and for parents to enjoy at key school events.
