All Saints' Academy, Cheltenham

All Saints' Academy, Cheltenham

All Saints' Academy is an academy in Cheltenham, England.The Academy is a church school, in cooperation with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Clifton and the Church of England Diocese of Gloucester. Construction started in April 2010. The Academy opened in September 2011. The project will cost nearly £25 million with £2 million on IT equipment. The school replaced Christ College, which opened as recently as 2007 as the county's first joint Roman Catholic and Church of England school.Christ College had used the premises formerly occupied by St Benedict's (the Roman Catholic state Secondary School in Cheltenham) but the opportunity of having a newly built school on the site of Kingsmead School (which was closing due to falling numbers) and turning the school into an Academy justified making a fresh start with a new name. The school has room to educate 900 students aged 11–18 and the school's specialisms will be science and sport.All Saints' Academy's principal is Peter Kingham, the former Director of Education for the Oasis Trust.In May 2010, an Anglo-Saxon settlement was discovered on the site.

Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace

the mall, city of westminster, London ,
Buckingham Palace is the official London residence and principal workplace of the British monarch. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is a setting for state occasions and royal hospitality. It has been a focus for the British people at times of national rejoicing and crisis.Originally known as Buckingham House, the building which forms the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1705 on a site which had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was subsequently acquired by George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte, and known as "The Queen's House". During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, forming three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds outside. However, the palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb in World War II; the Queen's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection.
Edgware Road

Edgware Road is a major road through north-west London, England, starting at Marble Arch in the City of Westminster (south end) and running north-west to Edgware in the London Borough of Barnet. It is also a boundary between several North London boroughs. The route has its origins as a Roman road (part of Watling Street) and therefore runs for several miles in an almost perfect straight line, which is unusual in London. It is part of the modern A5 road. It undergoes several name changes along its length, including Maida Vale, Kilburn High Road, Shoot Up Hill and Cricklewood Broadway; but the road is, as a whole, known as the Edgware Road, as it is the road to Edgware.
