Kitwood Boys School
Encyclopedia
Kitwood Boys School was a Secondary modern school
for boys which began life in the early 1950s as part of the new Attlee
Labour government's education programme (as did the nearby Kitwood Girls School). Initially the school provided an education to those not attaining higher Grammar School
standards. Despite a brief period in the late 70s and early 1980s which gave the school a bad name, the school was merged with the girls school in 1993 and lost many of its staff. The merged school is called Haven High
and located on the site of the old girls school.
The school took several annual trips including camping to Leam Farm in Derbyshire and Brienz in Switzerland.
