You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Ecclesfield School''' is a [[coeducational]] [[secondary school]] with [[Academy (English school)|academy status]] situated on Chapeltown Road (A6135) between [[Chapeltown, South Yorkshire|Chapeltown]] and [[Ecclesfield]], [[South Yorkshire]] in the [[East Ecclesfield]] district of Sheffield, England. It is for ages 11&ndash;16. It has about 1,750 pupils, making it the largest school in Sheffield.

==History==
Ecclesfield School opened as "Ecclesfield Grammar School" in 1931. Its foundation was largely due to the efforts of [[Lady Mabel Fitzwilliam|Lady Mabel Smith]], a Labour councillor on the West Riding County Council, and daughter of [[William Wentworth-FitzWilliam, 7th Earl FitzWilliam|Earl Fitzwilliam]]. Lady Mabel was Chairman of the School Governors from 1931 to her death in 1951.

The school was designed in 1939 by Frederick MacManus, an Irish born architect working for (Sir) John Burney, Tait & Lorne architects of London.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/building_full.php?id=226549|title= DSA Building/Design Report – Ecclesfield Town Modern School|work=Dictionary of Scottish Architects|accessdate=22 April 2022))</ref>

In 1931 Ecclesfield Grammar School provided for three streams of 30 pupils, increased to five in 1952 with an annual intake of 150 and a total number on roll of 800; by this time 2,500 pupils had been admitted. Following integration with Hunshelf pupil intake increased further. Total pupil numbers during the 36 years the school operated as a grammar school was approximately 4,450, and approximately 10,000 since it became a comprehensive.

Major extensions to the school were made in 1952-53, including Lady Mabel Hall, kitchens and classrooms, and separate science and craft blocks. Further building undertaken during the 1960s included a sports hall with changing rooms and a multi-story classroom block, with the gymnasium from the previous building converted into a library. Concurrently, a separate Hunshelf School was built on part of the playing fields.

During the 1950s new entrants were allocated to forms according to surname alphabetical order, and were allotted to a "house", Strafford, Brontë, Fairfax or Priestley, for weekly assembly and competitive sports.

In 1967 the School became Ecclesfield Comprehensive School after amalgamating with Hunshelf [[Secondary modern school|Secondary Modern School]], and served the areas of Ecclesfield, Chapeltown, Hoyland, Elsecar, High Green, Bradfield, Stannington, Grenoside, Oughtibridge and Wharncliffe Side, on the southern boundary of the West Riding of Yorkshire between Sheffield and Barnsley. Initially, it remained separate from Hunshelf School, but the two schools later amalgamated to form an enlarged Ecclesfield Comprehensive, run by Sheffield City Council.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.grenosidereadingroom.co.uk/history/|title=History ((!)) Grenoside Reading Room|website=www.grenosidereadingroom.co.uk|access-date=8 June 2017))</ref>

Again, major building work took place in the school in the early 21st century, as the Priory, Wharncliffe and Cowley blocks were built (often shortened to just P, W, and C) as well as the new canteen and car park. It was here where the school gained its 'Specialist in visual and performing arts' status. On 1 April 2014, the school converted to academy status.

==Drama==
The school has drama and music studios, and a theatre with tiered seating and lighting system. Productions include musicals and serious dramas. Ecclesfield School teachers Paul O'Farrell and Ben Smithard wrote and directed the play ''Exit Stage Left'' which was performed at the [[Edinburgh Festival Fringe|Edinburgh Fringe Festival]] in July & August 2012, and was well-reviewed in the local ''Sheffield Star''.<ref>((cite news|last=Dunnn|first=David|title=REVIEW: Exit Stage Left, Lady Mabel Theatre|url=http://www.thestar.co.uk/lifestyle/theatre/review_exit_stage_left_lady_mabel_theatre_1_4281706|newspaper=The Star|accessdate=27 March 2019))</ref> The play won the Yorkshire music and drama award. They have also directed musicals and plays which take place in the school's Lady Mabel Hall annually.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.sheffieldunchained.co.uk/sheffield-teen-performers-take-on-edinburgh-fringe/|title=Sheffield performers take on Edinburgh Fringe ((!))

==Academic performance==
At [[General Certificate of Secondary Education|GCSE]], the school performs below average for Sheffield LEA. In a report from 2017 the school achieved "Inadequate" in its Ofsted Report.<ref>((cite news|url=http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/head-says-school-devastated-by-inadequate-ofsted-rating-1-8440853|title=Head says school 'devastated' by inadequate Ofsted rating|newspaper=The Star|access-date=8 June 2017))</ref>
