The Gainsborough Academy
The Gainsborough Academy is a secondary school with academy status located in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England. The academy has specialisms in technology and performing arts.
Castle Hills Secondary Modern school opened on Tuesday 6 January 1958 for 276 children, but had capacity for 480. It had 12 classrooms, and science labs, and a metalwork room.
It was an 18-acre site, designed by Myles-White, Vallance and Westwick. It cost £150,000. In November 1957 it was given the name at a Lindsey County Council meeting. Previously the proposed school was known as The Avenue Secondary School.
It was fully complete by the end of February 1958. There were four streams - academic, technical, commercial, and domestic science or pre-nursing. The sports field was 17 acres. Sports were football, hockey, netball and basketball, but no rugby.
It was officially opened on 4 October 1958 by the Chairman of Lindsey County Council. It served the villages of Scotter, Laughton, Blyton and Corringham.
The headteacher was Mr Roland Mark Underhill, who lived on Dorton Avenue, with two daughters. He left in December 1975. He attended King Edward VI Five Ways School and the University of Birmingham, gaining an Education diploma in 1933. He taught science (biology) at Sloane School in London from 1937, where he was also a scoutmaster. He later taught at Wandsworth Training College.
41 year old Peter Fleet was headmaster from January 1976, moving from Carlisle. 54 year old Peter Fleet left in July 1989, for health reasons, replaced by Peter Lewis Elliott, the deputy head of a comprehensive. Peter Elliott would be head of the Castle Hills Community School for the rest of the 1990s.
A new secondary school would be built on Middlefield Lane. Lindsey County Education Committee approved the school at the end of 1962 for £200,000. The former South and North Secondary schools would be closed. Construction took place during 1964. It would be called Middlefield Lane Secondary School, which opened on Tuesday 4 January 1966, with 475 children.
