From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cambridgeshire High School for Boys was founded as the Cambridge and County School for Boys in 1900. It was later the Cambridge and County High School for Boys, and then finally the Cambridgeshire High School for Boys before it was transformed in the 1974 reorganisation of education in Cambridgeshire into Hills Road Sixth Form College.

[edit] Alumni
- Syd Barrett and Roger Waters of the rock band Pink Floyd. There is a suggestion that the song "Another Brick in the Wall", written by Roger Waters which includes the famous lyrics "We don't need no education", was aimed at the school. It is most likely that Waters was recalling his schooling here and was targeting former teachers and headmasters of the school to his distaste.
