  • Archbishop Tenison's C of E School, commonly known as Tenison's, is a Church of England boys Secondary School located in the London Borough of Lambeth. Thomas Tenison, an educational evangelist and later Archbishop of Canterbury, founded several schools in the late 17th and early 18th Century. A boys' school at the Oval was founded in 1685 and a girls' school was formally established in 1706 for 12 girls. In 1863 a new school building was erected at 18 Lambeth High Street. The girls school closed in 1957 but the building still stands. Archbishop Tenison founded another school in nearby Croydon in 1714. Tenison's is now an 11-18 voluntary aided, boys comprehensive school, part of the educational provision of the Anglican Diocese of Southwark and the London Borough of Lambeth. Girls are admitted to the Sixth Form. Tenison's became a Specialist Arts College in 2003. The school caters for around 500 pupils, of whom 50 are in the Sixth Form. The School is located directly opposite The Oval cricket ground, home of Surrey County Cricket Club. Pupils are given the chance to train and play at the famous ground. The roof of the main school building is often used as a base for television cameras on match-days. The badges of the schools founded by Thomas Tenison are based on his personal coat of arms: 'Gules, a bend engrailed argent voided azure, between three leopards' faces or jessant-de-lys azure. ' In standard English: a red field bearing a white (or silver) diagonal band with scalloped edges, and a narrower blue band running down its centre. This lies between three gold leopards' faces, each of which is pierced by a blue fleur-de-lys entering through the mouth.
