THE STORY OF THREE SCHOOLS KIRKHEATON FREE GRAMMAR SCHOOL The school, built on a site later used for Kirkheaton National , School, appears to have been erected between 1588 and 1619. The most popular date seems to be 1610 and this is the date given in a 191) brochure for a bazaar at the school. The original building, none of which now remains, was built chiefly from the money provided by the Reverend Alexander Stocke, then rector of Kirkheaton, and others to serve as a Free Grammar School for children of the parish. In his will dated 1619 Stocke also requested that monies from the rents received from "lands, closes and premisesll were to be used, "ror ever to and for the maintenance and repairance of one schoole house situate near the Church of Kirkheaton (lately builded there by me and others of the same pariSh) so longe as the sane schoole house shall continue and be used for a schoole house for instructing and bringing up of youth inhab­ • Heing within the Parish of Kirkheaton in good learning. " Stocke requested that if the school did not need any repairs for one or two years the trustees - one of whom was Sir Richard Beaumont - could "give and disperse" of the annual rent for the maintenance and education of "some one or more boy or boyes of the said parish in good learninge." Other early beneficiaries were William Lyley who gave yearly, in his will dated 1685, from rent charged on property in Kirk­ heaton "for ever unto y maister of the free school of Kirk­ heaton y sume of £5 for y teaching 10 poore scholars." In 1714 Miss Frances Beaumont in her will, bequeathed the sum of £ I 00 to be laid out in lands (at Osset) - the rents to be received by the schoolmaster. It is hard to imagine what this early school was like. It was­ n't a grammar school founded on the traditions of, say, Rugby (1567) which also began in Elizabeth I's reign along with anoth­ er 540. Yorkshire was one of ten counties that possessed such schools. These grammar schools, took boys between the ages of 6 and 8 and kept them until they entered Oxford or Camb resident. When the Rev. Sunderland resigned in 1815 there is, ridge at around 16. In 1671 there was a brave attempt by for five years, no record of the academy. However, in 1820 Christopher Wase to ascertain the state of these schools but the Rev.

Blyeth was, for exam­ ple, charged with striking Edward Bikliff's son so severely upon the head that it caused him to become deaf 'to this day'. Shortly afterwards Reuben Armitage received such a violent blow from the master that it knocked out a tooth and split his head. It appears also that money from Stocke's will had been going into Blyeth's pocket and the school governors had no option but to ask the Archbishop of York to withdraw his licence to teach which, following a hearing, he did.

Fortunately, Kirkheaton is not losing its PO. If all goes to plan it will relocate to the newsagents at the corner of Shop Lane and Town Road in the near future. However, this has caused some concern among residents as parking and pedestrian access are serious issues in the area. But on the plus side it will have two Bumper open counters and will be open for longer hours six and half days a week.

  • Dear Parent/Carer, the Final Inspection Report Has Been Put On
    Penistone Road, Birdsedge, Huddersfield HD8 8XR Tel 01484 605441 www.birdsedgefirst.org [email protected] Head Teacher: Mrs Carolyn Littlewood 15.01.19 Dear Parent/Carer, The final inspection report has been put on our school website and will be published on the Ofsted website on Thursday January 17th. An Ofsted report reflects the moment in which a school was inspected and provides a clear outline of the next steps for any school on its journey. Birdsedge was last inspected in September 2006 when it was judged to be Outstanding. In the interim 12 years there have been many changes both in school and to the Ofsted framework. Birdsedge has always been, and remains to be, a wonderful school with a child centred ethos; putting children and families at the heart of all decision making. This is very evident in the recent Ofsted judgement for Personal Development and Welfare which is ‘Good’. The inspection report has identified areas for improvement, however these had already been identified by myself and leaders from the Trust and work has already begun on these improvements. The report provides the impetus to move the school forward quickly and we are really excited to pull together, making the necessary changes and making Birdsedge the fantastic school I know it can be. Ms Spark has agreed to take on a leadership position in school and will be driving forward writing across all classes. Aspects in Early Years identified around progress are historical issues. We have a fantastic teacher in Miss Hutton who will now work with Early Years leaders at Shelley First School to ensure children are challenged to reach the highest levels possible and get the strongest start they need in their education.
