It is unfortunate that security concerns mean that contemporary schools are hidden behind defences that would not be out of place on a Roman fort: tall brick walls surmounted by high fences, in front of high earth mounds that conceal the actual school buildings. The Globe Academy http://www.globeacademy.org/ opened in 2008.
