The Charles Read Academy
Built in 1963 as a 'Secondary Modern' school, and becoming a comprehensive after the 1965 Labour government attempted to end selection. In 1999 it was renamed the Charles Read High School,taking the name from the ancient grammar school in the village (Image)
It converted to an academy in January 2011 and was taken over by West Grantham Academies Trust. This body decided to close the school in 2013, raising many questions about how they had come to own the freehold, and after a considerable local storm control was passed to the Stamford-based David Ross Foundation instead of closing.

Outdoor dining
The Woodhouse Arms is a rather up-market establishment these days - a luxury restaurant. But the precautions introduced to cope with the Coronavirus pandemic meant it had to - rapidly - introduce outdoor dining, and here we see what is essentially an improvised outdoor restaurant with garden seating and umbrellas in a lawn. Although the regulations have been relaxed, people are still using this sort of arrangement, partly as a precaution and partly because we quite enjoy al fresco, now we have got used to doing it somewhere other than the Mediterranean.

The Woodhouse Arms
This village pub has been extensively remodelled, and re-opened as a high class restaurant with modern bar. This is very welcome, as it had been closed for some time.
This view is of the new restaurant at the rear, and includes (on the left) the bed and breakfast apparments where the stable block once stood.
The new owners are young and enthusiastic, and the food is excellent. I hope they do well.
