Lady Verney High School
Lady Verney High School was a girls' grammar school in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire that closed in 1993.〔(The Lady Verney High School at Schools etc ). Retrieved 9 February 2015.〕
==History==
The origin of the school was in the girls section of Wycombe Technical School in Easton Street, High Wycombe.〔(Lady Verney High School at JHGS ). Retrieved 9 February 2015.〕 It was established in November 1956〔(Lady Verney High School at the National Archives ). Retrieved 9 February 2015〕 and opened in January 1957〔(Whs Provenance LVHS ). Retrieved 10 February 2015〕 with 260 pupils in the former premises of Wycombe High School in Benjamin Road which dated from 1906. They were too small to cope with the expansion of that school which necessitated a move to new buildings on Marlow Hill to the south of the town centre. The new school was named Lady Verney after the educationalist Margaret Verney, a member of the local Verney family who served on the Education Committee of Buckinghamshire County Council.〔TheTimes Obituary at Wikisource. Retrieved 10 February 2015〕
In 1988 the school moved to the larger premises of the former Wellesbourne County Secondary School at Kingshill Road〔(The Lady Verney High School at All Schools and Colleges ). Retrieved 9 February 2015.〕 on the northern edge of the town. The number of pupils then fell and Buckinghamshire County Council were concerned that the numbers might decline further to 250 by the end of the 1990s, meaning that it would not be able to offer a wide range of subjects. An action group was formed to save the school and it was suggested that the decline in numbers was partly due to the move from the town centre and a boys school accepting girls into its 6th form. The campaign was not successful and the school closed on 31 August 1993.〔〔(Top School in exam league is closed at ''The Independent'' ). Retrieved 9 February 2015.〕 The 333 pupils, 43 of them taking GCSEs were transferred to Wycombe High School where there was an investment in new drama, sport and technology blocks and one of the new blocks was named the Verney Building.〔(Lady Verney High School at WHS ) Retrieved 9 February 2015.〕 Whilst building work was completed the enlarged school was run on a split site for a year, with girls attending at both sites until the merger was complete. The Kingshill Road site was later sold for housing development and a road was named Lady Verney Close.
