Bletchley Road Secondary Modern School (Bletchley)

Badge as depicted in Bunty #44 [15 Nov 1958]




By the time of the 1870 Education Act, the National Schools in High Street (situated opposite the Chequers Inn) had reached saturation point and it was decided to build new schools in Bletchley Road (now Queensway). The first of these opened in 1890.

Subsequently Leon Secondary School began its life in the buildings of the Bletchley Road Modern School following a name change in the early 1960's.
Following the growth of Bletchley and the building of the Lakes Estate the school moved into new premises on Fern Grove in the early 1970's and became the Leon Comprehensive school. It is now currently known as Leon School and Sports College.

When Leon moved to Fern Grove the Knowles Schools were started. On the site of the Bletchley Schools. Now there are Knowles Nursery, Knowles Infants and Knowles Junior Schools.
