From the Richard Cloudesley School
When Richard Cloudesley School first started in 1903, it only served boys in the secondary school age range. There have been numerous changes to the philosophy, curriculum, and resources since that period. It merged with a comparable girls' school in 1952. We currently co-locate with mainstream partners in specially planned buildings that opened in 2008 and 2011 as a split site school for students ages 2 to 19.
