Kitwood Boys School
Kitwood Boys School was a Secondary modern school for boys which began life in the early 1950s as part of the new Attlee Labour government's education programme (as did the nearby Kitwood Girls School). Initially the school provided an education to those not attaining higher Grammar School standards. Despite a brief period in the late 70s and early 1980s which gave the school a bad name, the school was merged with the girls school in September 1992 and lost many of its staff. The merged school is called Haven High and located on the site of the old girls school.
The school took several annual trips including camping to Leam Farm in Derbyshire and Brienz in Switzerland.
Noted school attendees: Julian Joachim (Professional Footballer - Leicester FC, Aston Villa). Dr Nigel Sherriff (Chartered Psychologist & Chartered Scientist)
