Rykneld Secondary Modern School Derby
Rykneld Secondary Modern School was a secondary modern school for boys on St Albans Road Derby. It merged with Bemrose School in 1975, and admitted girls, becoming a comprehensive school. The single-storey brick building had a prominent clock tower, and was set in grounds that included tennis courts and football field at the rear. After-school activities included gardening and bee-keeping. The site and buildings, which had remained empty for some time and become vandalised, were sold for £1 in 1996 and the buildings demolished to make way for a new infants school. Attendees at the original Rykneld school had failed the 11-plus examination then in operation, and would leave without GCE or other qualifications, unless they passed the 13-plus examination entitling them to attend a Grammar School.
A memorable part of English lessons was 'Spelling round the wall' (known as 'spelling up the wall') along with 'Literature round the wall', and the keeping of a 'Reporters Notebook' by every pupil. The former were innovative methods of teaching using a game in which all pupils formed a line around the classroom a moved up one place if they answered a question correctly, with a prize for the top speller in the school. The literature game led to pupils committing to memory the names of famous works and their authors, with Jock Scullan, the English Teacher, telling them, "one day, many years from now, you may find pleasure sitting in front of a warm fire and reading these books" (at least one pupil did!)
==History==
The name Rykneld derives from the great Roman Road of Rykneld Street connected the garrisons of the wild north with the civilised Roman towns of the south,〔() A Short History of Derby UK〕 and Rykneld School and the adjacent Rykneld Recreation Ground are on land originally known as the Firs Estate. The Firs Estate belonged originally to Canon Edward Abney along with a Regency house in which he lived on Burton Road. Abney's son, Sir William Abney sold the estate; most of which went for housing in St Luke’s Parish Derby. Canon Edward Abney, a friend of William Fox Talbot, was a pioneer of photography, and his son Sir William Abney became one of the most important figures in Victorian photography. 11 acres of the Firs Estate were retained by Sir William until 1913, when they were sold to the City council to become the site of Rykneld recreation ground and Rykneld School.〔() Derby Leisure and Parks site for history of Rykneld and Firs Estate〕
