Magdalen School had never been a school of rich men's sons, and genuine democracy had flourished in it, not only through the conscious efforts of such Masters as Millard, Ogle, and Sherwood, but also through the peculiar nature of Oxford.</p></blockquote> <p>The origins of the present-day school site begin in the late 19th century, when the school was occupying part of the college grounds alongside Longwall Street. It was slowly relocated by a few hundred feet, over <a href="/wiki/Magdalen_Bridge" title="Magdalen Bridge">Magdalen Bridge</a>, onto the present site on Cowley Place began under the tenure of W. E. Sherwood in 1891 when, after an outbreak of <a href="/wiki/Scarlet_fever" title="Scarlet fever">scarlet fever</a> in the old boarding house on the corner of Longwall Street and the High Street (ascribed partly to the dilapidated state of the building and in particular to the drainage) plans for a new school house were laid out. The new building on the Plain, which forms the modern-day School House, was first used in September 1894 when boarders at the school moved into it. </p><p>At that time, teaching still took place on the Longwall Street site. Boarders thus had a short daily walk over Magdalen Bridge to the college. The choristers still today make this short daily journey, but using a tunnel under Magdalen Bridge to avoid crossing the busy road. </p><p>The school continued to grow during the early 20th century, and by 1925, there were about 170 students. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Migration_to_Cowley_Place">Migration to Cowley Place</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Magdalen_College_School,_Oxford&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Migration to Cowley Place"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1928, increased pressure on the Magdalen College buildings on Longwall Street caused the migration of the entire school over Magdalen Bridge. Plans were made for new buildings designed by <a href="/wiki/Giles_Gilbert_Scott" title="Giles Gilbert Scott">Giles Gilbert Scott</a>, but this period was marked by uncertainty for the school, as in 1926 the College statute referring to the School had been altered. "Where before it had ordained that the College should always maintain the School, it now ran, 'So long as the grammar school of the College in Oxford is maintained....".<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As a result, temporary classrooms were built along Cowley Place, most of which are still standing today. </p><p>The buildings that the school had used on Longwall Street underwent a change of use or were redeveloped, and now form part of the College buildings: the School's original 'Big School' became the present-day "New Library" of the college, and the former school playground turned into the college's Longwall Quad. </p><p>A new school chapel was added to the 1928 buildings at the Milham Ford end, paid for by Old Boys, and was furnished with stained glass from the original chapel on Longwall Street, portraits of former Masters, Ushers, and Old Waynfletes (men educated at the school), and with an old organ built by Binns of Bramley, near Leeds.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Choir stalls later donated by the Old Waynfletes and carved by Stanley Fisher completed the building, until it was eventually transformed into a Library when the present-day Big School building was opened in 1966. The stalls from the chapel of 1929 are now in the 'altar' section of the new Big School. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Second_World_War_and_"Bricks_for_wood""><span id="Second_World_War_and_.22Bricks_for_wood.22"></span>Second World War and "Bricks for wood"</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Magdalen_College_School,_Oxford&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Second World War and "Bricks for wood""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By 1938, the school's buildings had become too small. They had always been of a timber construction, never designed for longevity. This was the topic of the 1938 Commemoration speech given by Dr John Johnson, in which a "Bricks for wood" appeal was made to nineteen other donors, to be matched by Dr Johnson in raising a total of £20,000 to rejuvenate the fabric of the school. Whilst £8,000 was promised by the end of the year, the outbreak of the Second World War curtailed any further fundraising or large-scale building for its duration. </p><p>Under the mastership of Kennard Davis, the period of the war was marked by an increase in the school's numbers, caused in part by the relative safety of the city of Oxford, while the <a href="/wiki/Officers%27_Training_Corps" class="mw-redirect" title="Officers' Training Corps">Officers' Training Corps</a>, precursor to the present-day Combined Cadet Force, "played its part in the defence of Oxford against possible enemy parachutists and fifth-columnists, guarding the river banks at night with fixed bayonets!".<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> By 1949, the school had about 400 pupils. At the end of the war, the <a href="/wiki/Education_Act_1944" title="Education Act 1944">Education Act 1944</a> saw the school opt to become a <a href="/wiki/Direct_grant_grammar_school" title="Direct grant grammar school">direct grant grammar school</a>, continuing its long-standing tradition of open education. </p><p>After the War, the school took over buildings on the site of the present-day Hard Courts and Music Department, built for civil defence, including several air raid shelters and huts, as well as buildings formerly belonging to the defunct <a href="/wiki/Milham_Ford_School" title="Milham Ford School">Milham Ford School</a>; these formed part of an expanded school which by now had several hundred pupils. A building campaign in the 1950s represented the first wave of a gradual expansion and enlargement of the school, commencing in 1951 with a five-building concrete block, and more significantly, between 1955 and 1957, the construction of the three-storey teaching block which is near the modern Colin Sanders building. </p><p>In the late 1950s, the school faced another threat: a new road was proposed, to ease traffic flow, which would have straddled both the school fields and the site of the boarding house. This plan was never set into motion, and in 1957 the school built new laboratories, on the Plain roundabout end of the site, now housing both science and Design & Technology facilities. In 1959, a movement began towards constructing the present-day Big School building, which was designed by <a href="/wiki/Booth,_Ledeboer,_and_Pinckheard" class="mw-redirect" title="Booth, Ledeboer, and Pinckheard">Booth, Ledeboer, and Pinckheard</a> and eventually opened in 1966.<sup id="cite_ref-Architectural_Drawings_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Architectural_Drawings-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The new building was hexagonal, with a stage and orchestra pit at one end and an altar (given by Magdalen College) in a chapel area at the other, as well as an acoustic-panelled ceiling and a cluster of lighting. </p><p>With the opening of the new Big School, the old Big School became the school's gymnasium. With the stage removed, the floor replaced, a wall removed to connect the hall with the adjoining classroom, and with the addition of wallbars and gym apparatus, this 'temporary' building began a new phase in its long history. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Independence">Independence</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Magdalen_College_School,_Oxford&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Independence"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>By the late 1960s, the school's status as a direct grant scheme member came under threat as sweeping changes were made to the then <a href="/wiki/Tripartite_System" class="mw-redirect" title="Tripartite System">Tripartite System</a>.
