St Gregory's Catholic Middle School

About Institution

The school was originally opened in 1959 as a catholic Secondary Modern School. However following the 1967 Plowden Report, Bedfordshire LEA decided to implement the three-tier education system of lower, middle and upper schools in the county. By the end of the 1970s, St Gregory's was redesignated as a comprehensive middle school.

The school converted to academy status in April 2013, as part of the St Francis of Assisi Academies Trust.

The School is named after St Gregory or 'Gregory the Great' who was Pope at the end of the 6th, and the beginning of the 7th centuries.
