Encyclopedia : B : BO : BOR : Borden Grammar School
Borden Grammar School is a selective grammar school situated in Sittingbourne, Kent, England which educates students aged 11—18. As of 2006, the current headmaster is Harold S. Vafeas. The school was originally built in Borden on Riddles Road, funded with money from then local resident William Barrow. It later moved to its present site in Remembrance Avenue, Sittingbourne but retained its original name. The old school building is now an Adult Education Centre.
The school has a latin motto, nitere porro which translates as "to strive forward".
On September 1 2005 the school was awarded Sports College specialist status. According to the most recent 2003 OFSTED report, accommodation and resources were rated poor for sixth form students, and leadership and overall management of the school was ranked poor as well. The only things inspectors found above average were pupil attendance, attitude and behavior.
