Glenalmond College (formerly Trinity College, Glenalmond) is a co-educational independent boarding school in Perth and Kinross, Scotland, for children aged between 12 and 18 years. It is situated on the River Almond near the village of Methven, about west of the city of Perth. ==History== Trinity College Glenalmond was founded as an independent school by William Gladstone and James Hope-Scott (later Hope-Scott of Abbotsford).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glenalmond's History )〕 It was established to provide teaching for young men destined for the ministry of the Scottish Episcopal Church and where young men could be brought up in the faith of that Church.〔 It was originally known as the ''The Scottish Episcopal College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Glenalmond''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Glenalmond College )〕 The school opened its doors on 4 May 1847 to fourteen boys (though one boy, Lord Kerr, later Marquess of Lothian and Secretary for Scotland, arrived a day early).〔 The first Warden (headmaster) was Charles Wordsworth.〔 Until 1990 Glenalmond was an all-boys school. Girls were then initially accepted into the sixth form only, and the school became fully co-educational in 1995.〔 In 2007 the school was at the centre of a national media row after pupils reportedly created an offensive spoof video that featured them "hunting" "chavs" (a derogatory term in use in the UK for working-class people) on horseback and with rifles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://metro.co.uk/2007/08/13/outrage-at-chav-hunting-videos-26824/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1560142/Chav-chasing-public-schoolboys-criticised.html )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-475052/Pupils-act-chav-hunt--hunting-pinks-horseback-prey-Burberry-caps.html )〕 The school condemned the video.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=School condemns 'chav-hunt' spoof )〕 The school was the subject of a documentary broadcast on BBC 2 in Autumn 2008. ''Pride and Privilege'' chronicled a year in the life of Glenalmond and followed a number of pupils and teachers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Pride and Privilege )〕 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「Glenalmond College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
