Archway School is a comprehensive co-educational school for pupils aged 11 to 18 in Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. The headteacher is Kieron Smith. Archway Secondary Modern School, Paganhill, Stroud was built on land compulsorily purchased from EJ Wheeler of Park Farm and from part of the Farmhill Park Estate. The latter was the home in the 1830s of magistrate Henry Wyatt (1793-1847) who built the gate archway (which gives the School its name) as a commemoration of the abolition of slavery. The School received its first pupils in September 1961 and was one of the first comprehensive schools in the Stroud area. The first Headteacher was Mr SGH Loosely who was pictured on the school's opening day with Head Boy Gerald Butler and Head Girl Gillian Wood. It was officially opened on Friday 30 March 1962 by Walter James, Editor of the Times Educational Supplement, together with Major PD Birchall, Chairman of the County Education Committee and Mrs Margaret Hills, Chairman of the School Governors.
