Sir Roger Manwood's School

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Roger Manwood's School is a Grant Maintained Grammar School located in Sandwich, Kent, England. It is also a language college, meaning it specialises in teaching modern foreign languages.

The school was founded in 1563 by Sir Roger Manwood, a barrister and supporter of the reformation of the Church in England. The original location of the School was at Ash Road in Sandwich but was later moved to its current location at Manwood Road.

The school today mainly consists of day pupils, although there are about 50 boarders and the school is now mixed, after a long running tradition of being an all boys school. The school has a sporting rivalry with Dover Grammar School for Boys.
