Archbishop Temple School (full name Archbishop Temple Church of England Technology and Humanities College) is a secondary school, situated in the city of Preston in Lancashire, England. Its headteacher is Mr Darren Hugill and its deputy headteacher is Mr David Battarbee. It has around 780 pupils and 40 teachers.

History

Archbishop Temple School welcomed its first pupils in September 1963. It was originally called William Temple School, after Archbishop William Temple. It became a Technology College in 1995 when the British Aerospace Technology block was built. In 2006 the school became a Humanities College.

The school is one of the top 10 non-sixth form schools in England at GCSE.

House System

On the 3rd September 2007, the school abandoned the form system, whereby each year had the forms: T, E, M, P and L. The change reverts back to the old house system, where the school is split into four houses (York, Durham, Winchester and Canterbury) and each house is split into seven forms (P, R, E, S, T, O and N) containing an equal number of pupils from each year within the house, as opposed to the previous forms containing pupils solely from one year.

Achievements

F1 In Schools (2002 - 2003)

In 2002 and 2003 a team from Archbishop Temple School entered a challenge to create an F1 style car using CAD/CAM software. The school won the challenge and the team got to travel to Silverstone and meet the Jaguar F1 team.

Geronimo!

In 2005 a team from the school entered a challenge for the BBC TV series "Geronimo!". Their challenge was to build a sand digging machine. The school won, beating another local school (Fulwood High) and two adult teams.
