Jonty WareingYesterday I got mocked for calling my secondary school "high school".
Using DfE data I can prove that I'm not weird - I'm just from the North West.
Does anyone know why usage of "High School" in school names is so localised?
coldclimate@jonty high school for me too. Cumbria. Now renamed to a Community College but I'm ok with that
prl@coldclimate @jonty Ulverston Victoria still seems to be a High School, though I don't remember anyone using the full title when I was there. Back then it was split into two sites, Upper and Lower, which usefully described both the age range and the altitude.
@coldclimate @jonty Never knew this was a NW, and particularly Lancashire thing. Ulverston's in Furness, which was Lancashire pre-1974.
