John Spendluffe Technology College
John Spendluffe Technology College (JSTC) is a secondary school with academy status situated on Hanby Lane in the rural market town of Alford, Lincolnshire, England. It does not have a sixth form.
It was formed in 1932, the first under the Hadow scheme, in Lindsey. Broadcaster Olive Shapley presented 'The Changing School' on 22 May 1938 on BBC Radio.
The school was named after John Spendluffe of Farlesthorpe, who died in 1558, who also funded two fellowships at Magdalene College, Cambridge. The school was named John Spendluffe by 1974. The school has had a swimming pool.
In the late 1960s there plans for comprehensive schools. With the Tennyson School in Mablethorpe, it would become a three-form entry middle school. The Queen Elizabeth Alford school would be the comprehensive secondary school.
In July 1986 the Joint Education Action Group was formed to promote comprehensive education, and organise petitions, in the Alford and Mablethorpe area, with chairman Richard Quantrell. Later in 1986, Lincolnshire County Council planned to close the school, to be educated in Mablethorpe or Louth instead.
The school was to close in July 1989, with no more admissions from September 1988. School governors protested against the proposals. The plans were ultimately rejected in April 1988.
In the mid-1990s there were 300 at the school, with around 20 in each class.
In May 1993 the East Lindsey council found £75,000 for a new sports hall. Charity sports events took place to raise money for the new sports hall. Construction was hoped to start in November 1994; it started in January 1995. The sports hall opened in January 1996.
