[edit] History

Archbishop Temple School , welcomed it's first pupils in September 1963,and was originally called William Temple School, after Archbishop William Temple. It became a Technology College in 1995 when the new British Aerospace Technology block was built. In 2006 the school became a Humanities College.

The school is one of the top 10 non-sixth form schools in England at GCSE.

[edit] House System

On the 3rd September 2007, the school abandoned the current form system, whereby each year had the forms: T, E, M, P and L. The change reverts back to the old house system, where the entire school is split into four houses (York, Durham, Winchester and Canterbury) and each house is split into seven forms (P, R, E, S, T, O and N) containing an equal number of pupils from each year within the house, as opposed to the previous forms containing pupils solely from one year.
