About the memorial: The Radcliffe School was built in 1956 as a Grammar School, before becoming a Secondary Modern/Comprehensive school in 1958. During its build, the west wing of the school was planned around a central courtyard, which contained laboratories, history and geography rooms and sixth form division rooms. In the centre of the courtyard, a biology pool was installed and at one end of the pool a memorial was built. This is was honour former pupils who were killed in the two world wars. The bronze plaques that list the former students were transferred from the hall of the old school and added to the memorial where it still stands today.
