A later Chairman was William O'Brien.〔Schools, Volume 45; Volume 50; Volume 52.

Ministry of Education H.M.S.O., 1963 . page 44〕〔An account of the opening of the School. The Ampleforth Journal, Volume 72. Page 255〕 The school was dedicated to the 40 English Martyrs, whose names were given to the Houses and dormitories. The school crest depicted the martyr's crown〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Revelation 2:10 )〕 and palm leaves. After the Second World War, there was an increased demand for Catholic education. In the private sector, the Catholic preparatory and public schools were often oversubscribed. When Redrice opened in 1961 it was the first entirely lay-run Catholic public school.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Answers please on education policy )〕 Originally, there was a planned limit of 200 boarders. A pupil could start after passing the Common Entrance examination; and end after taking 'A' levels. That five-year period, and through the use of streaming, gave an average class size of fewer than 15 pupils. In 1969, the school began to admit girls.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Another boys' school to admit girls )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Girls at boys public schools )〕 The name changed in 1980 from 'Redrice School' to 'Redrice college' to assist in marketing the school abroad. The school closed in 1982, and the premises taken over by Farleigh School. The school's former pupils are named 'old martyrs'. Annual reunions dinners take place in London. In February 2013, there were over 140 ex-pupils connected in a Facebook group for ex-pupils and staff. This Roman Catholic, boarding school had the motto ''Alta Patens'' (English: ''Aiming High''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Redrice School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
