- Overview
The school was officially opened in 1962 as one of the first of the new breed of post-war technical grammar schools. Initially it was run along very traditional lines by the founding Headmaster, Mr. Arthur Hayward. [1]
In 1968 the school pioneered a system of learning away from traditional subject structure: the new intake that year studied 'Inter-disciplinary Enquiry' (IDE) for the first two years in place of English, Geography, History and Science. Maths and languages were taught separately. IDE was very quickly seen as a 'conspicuous failure'. [1]
The 1969 intake was the last grammar year, and from 1970 the school became a comprehensive. Arthur Hayward moved to Bodmin School the following year. [1]
Arthur Hayward died in June 2010 and tributes were published in the local paper. [1]
