'''Coal Hill School''', ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)|namedep=An Unearthly Child (1)}}, {{cs|Nightvisiting (TV story)}}) also known as '''Coal Hill Secondary Modern School''' or '''Coal Hill Secondary School''', ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time and Relative (novel)}}, [[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) and later renovated as '''Coal Hill Academy''', ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}}) was an [[England|English]] [[secondary school]], either a [[grammar school]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)}}) or [[secondary modern school]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time and Relative (novel)}}) in the [[1960s]], and later an [[academy]] in [[2016]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}})


[[Image:Coalhillschool.jpg|right|thumb|200px|The exterior of Coal Hill School in late [[1963]] ([[DW]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')]]
According to some accounts, the school was located on [[Foreman Street]] in [[Shoreditch]], [[London]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}}, {{cs|Nightvisiting (TV story)}}) According to other accounts, it was situated on [[Coal Hill Road]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Metaphysical Engine, or What Quill Did (TV story)}}) It was in a quiet residential area, next to a park and away from the [[shop]]s. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time and Relative (novel)}})


==Significant events==
[[The Doctor]] was involved with Coal Hill in several of their incarnations. At least three of his companions worked there – [[Barbara Wright]], [[Ian Chesterton]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)|namedep=An Unearthly Child (1)}}) and [[Clara Oswald]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) – and at least two attended the school, including his granddaughter [[Susan Foreman|Susan]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)|namedep=An Unearthly Child (1)}}) and [[Sam Jones]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}}) The Doctor himself got a temporary job there as a [[caretaker]] in [[2014]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Caretaker (TV story)}})


===Events in 1963===
According to [[Tanya Adeola]], Coal Hill had a highly above average body count. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)}}) The school commemorated their dead with the [[Coal Hill School Roll of Honours Board]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}})


In [[1963]], [[Barbara Wright]] taught history and [[Ian Chesterton]] taught science there. For about five months, [[Susan Foreman]] studied there. Barbara, Ian and Susan would all then vanish into the [[the Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] of [[First Doctor|the Doctor]], Susan's grandfather. ([[DW]]: ''[[An Unearthly Child]]''). Susan's classmates included [[John Brent]] and [[Gillian Roberts]]. ([[TN]]: ''[[Time and Relative]]'')
== History ==
=== 19th century ===
The school was founded circa [[1873]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)}})


Also, in 1963, Coal Hill School's headmaster, [[H. Parson]], would at some point come under the mental control of the [[Imperial Dalek]] faction attempting to locate the [[Hand of Omega]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')
=== 20th century ===
==== 1960s ====
{{section stub|This could do with more info from {{cs|Time and Relative (novel)}}, {{cs|Hunters of Earth (audio story)}}, and others.}}
In [[autumn]] of [[1962]], during the [[Cuban Missile Crisis]], Coal Hill School gave special air raid warning lessons to deal with the emergency. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time and Relative (novel)}})


:''Though not given directly, Parsons' name appears on the school sign.''
[[Susan Foreman]] was part of [[Class 5B]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Whatever Happened to Susan Foreman? (audio story)}}) At one point in [[1963]], the [[First Doctor]] went to Coal Hill School to look for Susan, who was his granddaughter, as there was fog outside that she shouldn't be walking through, and met [[Shivani Bajwa]]. The school was later attacked by wolf-creatures from another planet who were looking for something after a war took place in the area many years ago. The Doctor was able to conjure up a "potion" which would divert the wolves' censors away from the place. The "potion" also killed the flowers on the school garden.


By the time [[Seventh Doctor|the Doctor]] returned to the school after a long absence (from the point of view of his personal timestream), the janitor of the school had "gone missing" and a [[Imperial Dalek]] had installed a [[transmat]] in the school basement. A pitched battle between [[Ace]] and other Imperial Daleks sent after her, ensued.
At one point [[Missy]] was a teacher there who talked about the events of the wolf attack with Shivani.


The Imperial Dalek shuttle eventually landed in the schoolyard, shattering glass. ([[DW]]: ''[[Remembrance of the Daleks]]'')
This encounter with Shivani led to later incarnations of the Doctor, such as the [[Third Doctor|third]], [[Eleventh Doctor|eleventh]] and [[Twelfth Doctor|twelfth]] visiting Shivani to give her white [[rose]]s. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill (short story)}})


===Events in 1997===
On [[1 April]] 1963, [[Okehurst|Mr Okehurst]] and several students were killed by [[the Cold (Time and Relative)|the Cold]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time and Relative (novel)}})


[[Eighth Doctor|The Doctor]]'s future companion, [[Sam Jones]], attended Coal Hill School in 1997 before leaving in the TARDIS with him. ([[EDA]]: ''[[The Eight Doctors]]'')
One day, Susan brought in the [[Blessing Star]], and showed it to various students in an effort to get them to like her. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Rag & Bone Man's Story (short story)}})


===Staff & Students===
In [[November]] 1963, Coal Hill's headmaster was [[H. Parson]], who at some point came under the mental control of the [[Imperial Dalek]] faction attempting to locate the [[Hand of Omega]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)}})

{{Wikipedia|Coal Hill School}}
The deputy headmaster was [[Roger Kint]], "a thin but robust [[Irish]]man". Ian and Barbara's classrooms were [[Class C3]] and [[Class C4|C4]], respectively. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)}})
 
[[File:Coal Hill School AUC.jpg|thumb|left|A bulletin board at the school. ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)|namedep=An Unearthly Child (1)}})]]
On [[22 November]], 1963, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Who Killed Kennedy (novel)}}) history teacher [[Barbara Wright]] became intrigued by an unusual pupil in the school, [[Susan Foreman]]. She and science teacher [[Ian Chesterton]] followed Susan home from Coal Hill after Susan gave the address for herself and her grandfather as [[76 Totter's Lane]], a junkyard. They discovered that their student and her grandfather, in reality the [[First Doctor|first incarnation]] of [[the Doctor]], were time travellers from another world. Barbara, Ian, and Susan subsequently left Coal Hill when the Doctor kidnapped the teachers in [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]], which was in the junkyard, to ensure that they couldn't tell anyone about the ship. The Doctor also took his granddaughter away from [[20th century]] [[Earth]] against her wishes. This started off Ian and Barbara's travels in [[time]] and [[space]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)|namedep=An Unearthly Child (1)}})
 
Shortly afterwards, a janitor of the school went missing. When headmaster Parson met the [[Seventh Doctor]], Parson assumed that the Doctor came to apply for the job of school caretaker. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)}}) Ultimately, the school became the site of what was later dubbed the [[Shoreditch Incident]], ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Who Killed Kennedy (novel)}}) a battle between British military forces, scientists and the [[Seventh Doctor]], and Imperial and [[Renegade Dalek]] forces that appropriated the school for their base of operations, installing a [[transmat]] in the basement. Most of the fighting occurred outside the school and at nearby 76 Totter's Lane, although the Doctor's [[companion]], [[Ace]], found herself in pitched battle with several Daleks inside the school. The Imperial Dalek shuttle eventually landed in the [[Coal Hill schoolyard]], shattering windows of the building. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)}})
 
By this time, [[Rosa's]], a café owned by a [[Germany|German]] [[Judaism|Jewish]] woman named [[Rosa (Hunters of Earth)|Rosa]], was a popular hangout for Coal Hill students. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Hunters of Earth (audio story)}})
 
==== 1990s ====
The [[Eighth Doctor]]'s companion, [[Sam Jones]], attended Coal Hill School in [[1997]] before leaving in the TARDIS with him. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}})
 
=== 21st century ===
==== 2013 ====
On [[19 July]] [[2013]], following outstanding examination results, Coal Hill School accepted [[Tanya Adeola]]'s request to move up three years, citing her "truly extraordinary academic capability". ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nightvisiting (TV story)}})
 
<!--"The Day of the Doctor" is established as taking place 2 years before "The Zygon Invasion". "Clara Oswald and the School of Death" establishes that "The Zygon Invasion" takes place in September 2015--->
The [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s companion [[Clara Oswald]] began teaching at Coal Hill Secondary School circa [[September]] 2013. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Zygon Invasion (TV story)}}, [[COMIC]]: {{cs|Clara Oswald and the School of Death (comic story)}})
 
On Clara's first day working at Coal Hill, one of her classes got out of hand and she threatened to kick each of the pupils out of the school but [[Courtney Woods|one student]] saw it as nothing more than an empty threat. This taught Clara that threats were useless unless they could be backed up, which helped her when she was captured by the [[Clockwork Droid]]s of the [[SS Marie Antoinette|SS ''Marie Antoinette'']]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Deep Breath (TV story)}})
 
==== 2014 ====
[[File:Clara Walking with Danny.jpg|thumb|left|[[Clara Oswald]] and [[Danny Pink]] in Coal Hill School. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Into the Dalek (TV story)}})]]
Ex-soldier [[Danny Pink]] became a [[Mathematics|maths]] teacher at Coal Hill. He also led training sessions with the [[Coal Hill Cadet Squad]] which he said was "just a bit of fun". Around the same time, [[Kathy (Into the Dalek)|Kathy]] [[retire]]d from working at Coal Hill. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Into the Dalek (TV story)}})
 
The [[Twelfth Doctor]] chose Coal Hill as the location to which he would lure a [[Skovox Blitzer]] that had come to Earth. He selected it because it was relatively deserted at night. For this purpose, he took the job of school caretaker. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Caretaker (TV story)}})
 
A replica of Coal Hill was created on [[Planet (The Monsters of Coal Hill School)|another planet]] by [[Creature (The Monsters of Coal Hill School)|creatures]] who hoped to educate themselves prior to an invasion of Earth. The Twelfth Doctor scared them into abandoning the scheme. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Monsters of Coal Hill School (comic story)}})
 
Clara got [[Class 2B]] to create a placard for her that read "FREE THE DOCTOR" on one side, and on the other [[Class 2A]] wrote "SAVE DOT COT" as she stated that they "got a leetle bit confused. [[Dot Cotton]]. Famous [[cockney]] chimney. Doesn't matter." when speaking to the [[Governor (The Blood Cell)|Governor]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Blood Cell (novel)}})
 
On the final day of the 2014 school year, Clara had a double lesson with a group of year 10 students that annoyed her. Clara planned to begin marking their [[GCSE]]s after school ended, but she went on an adventure with the Twelfth Doctor instead. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Deep Time (novel)}})
 
After [[Danny Pink]] was hit and killed by a car, [[Frank Armitage|Mr Armitage]] informed the staff and students of his passing. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Dark Water (TV story)}})
 
==== 2015 ====
After the start of the new school year, ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Hyperion Empire (comic story)}}) Clara taught a class on [[Jane Austen]]. While teaching, she noticed a [[plane]] [[time stop|frozen]] in [[time]] outside the window. Urging her students to use their [[mobile phone]]s to spread the word of it on [[Twitter]] and news websites, Clara was later called by [[UNIT]] to join them investigating what turned out to be a worldwide phenomenon. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)}})
 
When the [[Somnosian]]s tried to invade Earth, every teacher and student in Coal Hill fell asleep. The Twelfth Doctor came to the school to visit Clara and set everything back to normal by defeating the Somnosians. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Beauty Sleep (comic story)}})
 
The Twelfth Doctor helped [[Evie Hubbard]], one of Clara's students, with her history project by using his TARDIS to let her meet [[Winston Churchill]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Woman Who Lived (TV story)}})
 
In late [[September]], Clara temporarily left Coal Hill to investigate the death of her friend [[Christel Dean]] at [[Ravenscaur School]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Clara Oswald and the School of Death (comic story)}})
 
In [[October]], Clara hoped to fund an IT suite in Danny's memory with a [[Halloween]] Fayre at Coal Hill, but failed to attract enough people. When the pranks caused by [[Miss Chief]] made [[superstition]]s come true, and Miss Chief's space-time scavenger hunt game after Clara went missing made Miss Chief and the Twelfth Doctor bring extinct animals and historical relics to the school, experts in the paranormal, wildlife and antiques were drawn to the event, and the [[Danny Pink IT Suite]] was successfully funded, and opened several months later. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Witch Hunt (comic story)}})
 
On [[23 November]], the ''[[Teselecta]]'' filled in for Clara while she celebrated her [[birthday]]. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|The Partying of the Ways (comic story)}})
 
==== 2016 ====
[[File:Coal Hill Academy sign.jpg|thumb|left|Coal Hill Academy, sponsored by [[EverUpwardReach Ltd]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)}})]]
In [[2016]], part of the school was bulldozed for reconstruction, and later reopened as Coal Hill Academy, sponsored by [[EverUpwardReach Ltd]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill (short story)}}; [[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}}) The main renovated building was called the [[Barbara Wright Building]], which was completed in [[Spring]] 2016, according to a sign near its entrance. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)}})
 
One night in early [[September]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)}}) the Twelfth Doctor took [[Charlie Smith]] and [[Andrea Quill]] away from their war-torn home planet [[Rhodia]] and left them outside Coal Hill. Charlie began attending the school as a student and Quill became a science teacher. The [[Shadow Kin]] followed Charlie and Quill and created a hole in space-time in Coal Hill School. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}})
[[File:HallwayRift1.jpg|thumb|The rift opens to the [[Shadow Kin]]'s world. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}})]]
A [[Female dragon|female]] [[skin-peeling dragon]] fell through the hole in space-time and bonded herself with [[Tom Dawson]], a coach at Coal Hill. The dragon's [[Male dragon|male mate]] followed but saw that if he hurt Dawson it would hurt the dragon, so he left. Meanwhile, Dawson experienced a rapid growth in strength. He began killing people to keep the dragon alive. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)}}) By the time of the [[Autumn Prom]], it was common knowledge among students that people regularly disappeared at Coal Hill.
 
On [[12 October]], student [[Kevin Williams]] stayed at the school after dark and encountered a Shadow Kin. Quill gave him a [[displacement gun]]. Kevin shot the Shadow Kin with it, killing both the monster and himself.
 
[[13 October|The next day]], [[Corakinus]], leader of the Shadow Kin, came to school after dark and encountered Quill, Charlie, and [[April MacLean|April]], who had been preparing for the prom. April skimmed it with a displacement gun, causing the two to share one heart.
 
On the night of the [[Autumn Prom]], [[14 October]], the Shadow Kin attacked the school en masse. One student, [[Rachel Chapman]], was killed. The Twelfth Doctor arrived and used his sonic screwdriver to amplify the lights of Coal Hill School. The Shadow Kin were pushed back to where they came from and the prom was saved. The Doctor then talked to the five students who had helped him defeat the Shadow Kin: Charlie, April, [[Ram Singh]], [[Tanya Adeola]] and [[Matteusz Andrzejewski]]. He tasked them with protecting Coal Hill from further alien attacks and tasked Quill with protecting them. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}})
 
A week later, [[the Governors]] sent [[The Inspector|a robot]] to Coal Hill to learn about Quill. Ram began finding himself near several of Coach Dawson's killings. The mate of Dawson's dragon returned to Coal Hill School intent on getting her back. He killed and skinned the headteacher, [[Frank Armitage|Mr Armitage]], on [[27 October]]. When, that same day, Ram realised that Dawson and his dragon tattoo were responsible for the killings, he and his friends confronted Dawson. The other dragon found Dawson at the same time and, with some encouragement from Ram, grabbed Dawson and took him through the hole in space-time, ending the killing spree. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)}})
 
On [[Halloween]], April organised a Halloween event at Coal Hill. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Creeper (audio story)}})
 
At the end of the month of [[October]], the [[Lankin]] came through the rift, and spread out across [[Shoreditch]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nightvisiting (TV story)}})
 
A few weeks after the Coal Hill defenders were formed and after Matteusz began living with Charlie, practically all of the students at Coal Hill were kidnapped by aliens and taken to a facility in [[the Void]], where they were tricked into eradicating the [[Skandis]] so the aliens could sell the Skandis homeplanet. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|What She Does Next Will Astound You (novel)}})
 
Around mid-[[November]], Coal Hill Academy got a new [[headteacher]], [[Dorothea Ames]].
 
Corakinus gained more control over April, and, through her, spat about the [[soldier]]s at [[Battle of Dunkirk|Dunkirk]] being cowards, during [[Miss Shah]]'s [[Class D15|history class]]. Heavily concerned, April spoke to Ram, and the two skipped [[Miss Quill]]'s [[Class B3|class]] to talk things through. Near the school, [[Huw MacLean]], April's father, approached her, against his restraining order, and April produced [[Shadow Kin scimitar]]s, threatening him and advising him to run away. Dorothea Ames allowed Ram to take April home.
 
After school ended, Ames asked for Miss Quill's assistance in dealing with [[killer petal]]s that had fallen all over town. She had touched one earlier in the day, and it drew [[blood]] from her, using it to multiply over and over again. Matteusz made similar observations about the petals: that they were unusual for [[autumn|the season]], and that they might be dangerous. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)}})
 
==== Closure ====
In [[2086]], Coal Hill was damaged in a [[fire]], and closed down at least temporarily. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] referenced this event when he told [[Frank Armitage]] in [[2013]] that Coal Hill School would not be closing for another 73 years. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)}}) The building survived, and was ultimately turned into into a block of [[flat]]s towards the end of the [[21st century]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|All Hands on Deck (audio story)}})
 
=== Legacy ===
The building which had been Coal Hill, now converted into a block of flats, more or less survived the first [[Dalek]] [[2150s Dalek invasion of Earth|invasion]] of the [[22nd century]], but it was not made habitable again until following the second invasion ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|All Hands on Deck (audio story)}}) in the [[2190s]], ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Lucie Miller (audio story)}}/{{cs|To the Death (audio story)}}) when [[Susan Foreman]] moved in, eager to take the opportunity to make a new home in that "lovely old building". The [[Coal Hill schoolyard|playground]] had since been torn up and replaced with a [[garden]], with an [[oak tree]] which had been planted in memory of [[Ian Chesterton]] and [[Barbara Wright]] still remaining. The block was visited by the [[Eighth Doctor]] as he moved to intercept [[Hypercube]] messages which were being sent by the [[Time Lord]]s. He was, however, ultimately unable to stop Susan from answering and accepting their request to aid them in their [[Last Great Time War|war]] against the Daleks, with a [[Battle TARDIS (All Hands on Deck)|Battle TARDIS]] arriving to pick her up. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|All Hands on Deck (audio story)}})
 
=== Recreations ===
During her travels with the [[First Doctor]], [[Ian Chesterton]], and [[Susan Foreman]], [[Barbara Wright]] was attacked by an alien being and forced to live through a warped version of her time at Coal Hill in which she had frequent panic attacks and a slight murderous tendency. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)}})
 
[[File:Ian, Barbara, and 11 - 4.jpg|thumb|left|[[Ian Chesterton]], [[Barbara Wright]], and the [[Eleventh Doctor]] in a [[psychic metal]] copy of Coal Hill School. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Hunters of the Burning Stone (comic story)}})]]
When Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright were kidnapped by [[Promethean]]s in [[1965]], they were trapped in a [[psychic metal]] prison that perfectly recreated Coal Hill School on an open evening in [[1963]]. Their memories were altered so that they suspected nothing unusual. The [[Eleventh Doctor]] found Ian and Barbara and helped them escape by reminding them of their adventures with him. ([[COMIC]]: {{cs|Hunters of the Burning Stone (comic story)}})
 
The [[Time Museum]] contained a recreation of one of Coal Hill School's science classrooms in its Ian Chesterton exhibit. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Time Museum (audio story)}})
 
== School uniform ==
At least two of its school colours were [[black]] and emerald [[green]], since these were the colours of [[Ian Chesterton]]'s [[Coal Hill School tie|official school tie]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Web Planet (TV story)|namedep=The Centre (6)}})
 
Part of [[Susan Foreman]]'s official school [[uniform]] was "a rather drab" [[grey]] [[tunic]]. There was a little badge embroidered on the apron, which stood out in [[red]] and [[gold]] and read "COAL HILL SCHOOL". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Nightshade (novel)}})
 
According to another account, Coal Hill was a [[secondary modern school]], and therefore required no uniform. The only rule regarding clothing was that girls may not wear [[trousers]]. [[Headmaster]] [[Basil James Carker]] had turned down dozens of petitions that girls be allowed to wear trousers to school. Susan commented in her [[diary]] that "[she thought] he'd be happiest if [girls] had to wear [[Mohammedan veil]]s and [[Idaho (state)|Idaho]] [[potato]]-sacks". ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time and Relative (novel)}})
 
By [[2016]], uniforms were not required for [[sixth form]]ers. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}})
 
== School grounds ==
{{section stub|Needs to be filled with info.}}
=== 20th century ===
In [[1963]], the school contained at least one [[corridor]], [[laboratory]], and [[classroom]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)|namedep=An Unearthly Child (1)}})
 
=== 21st century ===

([[TV]]: {{cs|Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)}}) [[Room C11]] was the main school hall ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}}) and [[Room G15]] was the Sport Science Office. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}}, {{cs|The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)}}) A [[Learning Resource Centre]] was also located within the building. ([[TV]]: {{cs|For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)}})

In [[March]] and [[April]] of that year, [[Basil James Carker]] was [[headmaster]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Time and Relative (novel)}}) By [[November]], [[H. Parson]] was headmaster ([[TV]]: {{cs|Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)}}, [[AUDIO]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Woman (audio story)}}) and [[Roger Kint]] was deputy headmaster. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)}}) In [[November]] of the same year, either on the [[22 November|22nd]] ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|Who Killed Kennedy (novel)}}) or [[23 November|23rd]] of the month, ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Long Night (short story)}}) Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright disappeared, having been kidnapped by the [[First Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|An Unearthly Child (TV story)|namedep=An Unearthly Child (1)}})
 
Following the death of [[H. Parson]] in the [[Shoreditch Incident]], [[Giles Dudley]] took over as [[Acting Headmaster]] until [[December]], but wrote to parents of the pupils of the school, assuring them that a new full-time Headmaster would soon be appointed. By that point, the vacancies left by Ian and Barbara had been filled; ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Shoreditch Incident (short story)}}) the positions were still filled by those replacements by [[spring]] of [[1964]]. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|A Long Night (short story)}})
 
In the [[1990s]], [[Vicky Latimer]] and [[Trev Selby]] were teachers at Coal Hill. ([[PROSE]]: {{cs|The Eight Doctors (novel)}})

Coburn]] was headmaster. ([[TV]]: {{cs|The Day of the Doctor (TV story)}}) Some time afterwards, [[Danny Pink]] began working as a [[maths]] teacher there and [[Kathy (Into the Dalek)|Kathy]] was retiring. By [[19 July]] [[2013]], [[Frank Armitage]] ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nightvisiting (TV story)}}) became [[Headteacher]], ([[TV]]: {{cs|Into the Dalek (TV story)}}) and one of the heads of year was Mrs [[Brownlee]]. ([[TV]]: {{cs|Nightvisiting (TV story)}})
 
In [[2014]], the staff included Adrian Davies, [[Jo (The Caretaker)|Jo]], and [[James H]]. [[Atif Basra]] was working as a caretaker, and the [[Twelfth Doctor]], under the name John Smith, temporarily took the job when Atif was [[hypnosis|hypnotised]] into believing he had the [[flu]].

Coal Hill School, (TV: "An Unearthly Child" [+]Part of An Unearthly Child, Loading...{"namedep":"An Unearthly Child (1)","1":"An Unearthly Child (TV story)"}, Nightvisiting [+]Loading...["Nightvisiting (TV story)"]) also known as Coal Hill Secondary Modern School or Coal Hill Secondary School, (PROSE: Time and Relative [+]Loading...["Time and Relative (novel)"], TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) and later renovated as Coal Hill Academy, (TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"]) was an English secondary school, either a grammar school (PROSE: Nothing at the End of the Lane [+]Loading...["Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)"]) or secondary modern school (PROSE: Time and Relative [+]Loading...["Time and Relative (novel)"]) in the 1960s, and later an academy in 2016. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"])

According to some accounts, the school was located on Foreman Street in Shoreditch, London. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"], Nightvisiting [+]Loading...["Nightvisiting (TV story)"]) According to other accounts, it was situated on Coal Hill Road.

(PROSE: Time and Relative [+]Loading...["Time and Relative (novel)"])

The Doctor was involved with Coal Hill in several of their incarnations. At least three of his companions worked there – Barbara Wright, Ian Chesterton, (TV: "An Unearthly Child" [+]Part of An Unearthly Child, Loading...{"namedep":"An Unearthly Child (1)","1":"An Unearthly Child (TV story)"}) and Clara Oswald (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"]) – and at least two attended the school, including his granddaughter Susan (TV: "An Unearthly Child" [+]Part of An Unearthly Child, Loading...{"namedep":"An Unearthly Child (1)","1":"An Unearthly Child (TV story)"}) and Sam Jones.

According to Tanya Adeola, Coal Hill had a highly above average body count.

(TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"])

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

19th century[[edit] | [edit source]]

The school was founded circa 1873. (PROSE: Nothing at the End of the Lane [+]Loading...["Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)"])

20th century[[edit] | [edit source]]

1960s[[edit] | [edit source]]

This section's awfully stubby.

This could do with more info from Time and Relative [+]Loading...["Time and Relative (novel)"], Hunters of Earth [+]Loading...["Hunters of Earth (audio story)"], and others.

In autumn of 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, Coal Hill School gave special air raid warning lessons to deal with the emergency. (PROSE: Time and Relative [+]Loading...["Time and Relative (novel)"])

Susan Foreman was part of Class 5B. (AUDIO: Whatever Happened to Susan Foreman? [+]Loading...["Whatever Happened to Susan Foreman? (audio story)"]) At one point in 1963, the First Doctor went to Coal Hill School to look for Susan, who was his granddaughter, as there was fog outside that she shouldn't be walking through, and met Shivani Bajwa. The school was later attacked by wolf-creatures from another planet who were looking for something after a war took place in the area many years ago. The Doctor was able to conjure up a "potion" which would divert the wolves' censors away from the place. The "potion" also killed the flowers on the school garden.

At one point Missy was a teacher there who talked about the events of the wolf attack with Shivani.

This encounter with Shivani led to later incarnations of the Doctor, such as the third, eleventh and twelfth visiting Shivani to give her white roses. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill (short story)"])

On 1 April 1963, Mr Okehurst and several students were killed by the Cold. (PROSE: Time and Relative [+]Loading...["Time and Relative (novel)"])

One day, Susan brought in the Blessing Star, and showed it to various students in an effort to get them to like her. (PROSE: The Rag & Bone Man's Story [+]Loading...["The Rag & Bone Man's Story (short story)"])

In November 1963, Coal Hill's headmaster was H. Parson, who at some point came under the mental control of the Imperial Dalek faction attempting to locate the Hand of Omega. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)"])

The deputy headmaster was Roger Kint, "a thin but robust Irishman". Ian and Barbara's classrooms were Class C3 and C4, respectively. (PROSE: Nothing at the End of the Lane [+]Loading...["Nothing at the End of the Lane (short story)"])

A bulletin board at the school. (TV: "An Unearthly Child" [+]Part of An Unearthly Child, Loading...{"namedep":"An Unearthly Child (1)","1":"An Unearthly Child (TV story)"})

On 22 November, 1963, (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy [+]Loading...["Who Killed Kennedy (novel)"]) history teacher Barbara Wright became intrigued by an unusual pupil in the school, Susan Foreman. She and science teacher Ian Chesterton followed Susan home from Coal Hill after Susan gave the address for herself and her grandfather as 76 Totter's Lane, a junkyard. They discovered that their student and her grandfather, in reality the first incarnation of the Doctor, were time travellers from another world. Barbara, Ian, and Susan subsequently left Coal Hill when the Doctor kidnapped the teachers in his TARDIS, which was in the junkyard, to ensure that they couldn't tell anyone about the ship. The Doctor also took his granddaughter away from 20th century Earth against her wishes. This started off Ian and Barbara's travels in time and space. (TV: "An Unearthly Child" [+]Part of An Unearthly Child, Loading...{"namedep":"An Unearthly Child (1)","1":"An Unearthly Child (TV story)"})

Shortly afterwards, a janitor of the school went missing. When headmaster Parson met the Seventh Doctor, Parson assumed that the Doctor came to apply for the job of school caretaker. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)"]) Ultimately, the school became the site of what was later dubbed the Shoreditch Incident, (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy [+]Loading...["Who Killed Kennedy (novel)"]) a battle between British military forces, scientists and the Seventh Doctor, and Imperial and Renegade Dalek forces that appropriated the school for their base of operations, installing a transmat in the basement. Most of the fighting occurred outside the school and at nearby 76 Totter's Lane, although the Doctor's companion, Ace, found herself in pitched battle with several Daleks inside the school. The Imperial Dalek shuttle eventually landed in the Coal Hill schoolyard, shattering windows of the building. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks [+]Loading...["Remembrance of the Daleks (TV story)"])

By this time, Rosa's, a café owned by a German Jewish woman named Rosa, was a popular hangout for Coal Hill students. (AUDIO: Hunters of Earth [+]Loading...["Hunters of Earth (audio story)"])

1990s[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Eighth Doctor's companion, Sam Jones, attended Coal Hill School in 1997 before leaving in the TARDIS with him. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors [+]Loading...["The Eight Doctors (novel)"])

21st century[[edit] | [edit source]]

2013[[edit] | [edit source]]

On 19 July 2013, following outstanding examination results, Coal Hill School accepted Tanya Adeola's request to move up three years, citing her "truly extraordinary academic capability". (TV: Nightvisiting [+]Loading...["Nightvisiting (TV story)"])

The Eleventh Doctor's companion Clara Oswald began teaching at Coal Hill Secondary School circa September 2013. (TV: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (TV story)"], The Zygon Invasion [+]Loading...["The Zygon Invasion (TV story)"], COMIC: Clara Oswald and the School of Death [+]Loading...["Clara Oswald and the School of Death (comic story)"])

On Clara's first day working at Coal Hill, one of her classes got out of hand and she threatened to kick each of the pupils out of the school but one student saw it as nothing more than an empty threat. This taught Clara that threats were useless unless they could be backed up, which helped her when she was captured by the Clockwork Droids of the SS Marie Antoinette. (TV: Deep Breath [+]Loading...["Deep Breath (TV story)"])

2014[[edit] | [edit source]]

Clara Oswald and Danny Pink in Coal Hill School. (TV: Into the Dalek [+]Loading...["Into the Dalek (TV story)"])

Ex-soldier Danny Pink became a maths teacher at Coal Hill. He also led training sessions with the Coal Hill Cadet Squad which he said was "just a bit of fun". Around the same time, Kathy retired from working at Coal Hill. (TV: Into the Dalek [+]Loading...["Into the Dalek (TV story)"])

The Twelfth Doctor chose Coal Hill as the location to which he would lure a Skovox Blitzer that had come to Earth. He selected it because it was relatively deserted at night. For this purpose, he took the job of school caretaker. (TV: The Caretaker [+]Loading...["The Caretaker (TV story)"])

A replica of Coal Hill was created on another planet by creatures who hoped to educate themselves prior to an invasion of Earth. The Twelfth Doctor scared them into abandoning the scheme. (COMIC: The Monsters of Coal Hill School [+]Loading...["The Monsters of Coal Hill School (comic story)"])

Clara got Class 2B to create a placard for her that read "FREE THE DOCTOR" on one side, and on the other Class 2A wrote "SAVE DOT COT" as she stated that they "got a leetle bit confused. Dot Cotton. Famous cockney chimney. Doesn't matter." when speaking to the Governor. (PROSE: The Blood Cell [+]Loading...["The Blood Cell (novel)"])

On the final day of the 2014 school year, Clara had a double lesson with a group of year 10 students that annoyed her. Clara planned to begin marking their GCSEs after school ended, but she went on an adventure with the Twelfth Doctor instead. (PROSE: Deep Time [+]Loading...["Deep Time (novel)"])

After Danny Pink was hit and killed by a car, Mr Armitage informed the staff and students of his passing. (TV: Dark Water [+]Loading...["Dark Water (TV story)"])

2015[[edit] | [edit source]]

After the start of the new school year, (COMIC: The Hyperion Empire [+]Loading...["The Hyperion Empire (comic story)"]) Clara taught a class on Jane Austen. While teaching, she noticed a plane frozen in time outside the window. Urging her students to use their mobile phones to spread the word of it on Twitter and news websites, Clara was later called by UNIT to join them investigating what turned out to be a worldwide phenomenon. (TV: The Magician's Apprentice [+]Loading...["The Magician's Apprentice (TV story)"])

When the Somnosians tried to invade Earth, every teacher and student in Coal Hill fell asleep. The Twelfth Doctor came to the school to visit Clara and set everything back to normal by defeating the Somnosians. (COMIC: Beauty Sleep [+]Loading...["Beauty Sleep (comic story)"])

The Twelfth Doctor helped Evie Hubbard, one of Clara's students, with her history project by using his TARDIS to let her meet Winston Churchill. (TV: The Woman Who Lived [+]Loading...["The Woman Who Lived (TV story)"])

In late September, Clara temporarily left Coal Hill to investigate the death of her friend Christel Dean at Ravenscaur School. (COMIC: Clara Oswald and the School of Death [+]Loading...["Clara Oswald and the School of Death (comic story)"])

In October, Clara hoped to fund an IT suite in Danny's memory with a Halloween Fayre at Coal Hill, but failed to attract enough people. When the pranks caused by Miss Chief made superstitions come true, and Miss Chief's space-time scavenger hunt game after Clara went missing made Miss Chief and the Twelfth Doctor bring extinct animals and historical relics to the school, experts in the paranormal, wildlife and antiques were drawn to the event, and the Danny Pink IT Suite was successfully funded, and opened several months later. (COMIC: Witch Hunt [+]Loading...["Witch Hunt (comic story)"])

On 23 November, the Teselecta filled in for Clara while she celebrated her birthday. (COMIC: The Partying of the Ways [+]Loading...["The Partying of the Ways (comic story)"])

2016[[edit] | [edit source]]

Coal Hill Academy, sponsored by EverUpwardReach Ltd. (TV: Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart [+]Loading...["Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)"])

In 2016, part of the school was bulldozed for reconstruction, and later reopened as Coal Hill Academy, sponsored by EverUpwardReach Ltd. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill [+]Loading...["Doctor Who and the Horror of Coal Hill (short story)"]; TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"]) The main renovated building was called the Barbara Wright Building, which was completed in Spring 2016, according to a sign near its entrance. (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo [+]Loading...["The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)"])

One night in early September, (TV: Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart [+]Loading...["Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)"]) the Twelfth Doctor took Charlie Smith and Andrea Quill away from their war-torn home planet Rhodia and left them outside Coal Hill. Charlie began attending the school as a student and Quill became a science teacher. The Shadow Kin followed Charlie and Quill and created a hole in space-time in Coal Hill School. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"])

The rift opens to the Shadow Kin's world. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"])

A female skin-peeling dragon fell through the hole in space-time and bonded herself with Tom Dawson, a coach at Coal Hill. The dragon's male mate followed but saw that if he hurt Dawson it would hurt the dragon, so he left. Meanwhile, Dawson experienced a rapid growth in strength. He began killing people to keep the dragon alive. (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo [+]Loading...["The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)"]) By the time of the Autumn Prom, it was common knowledge among students that people regularly disappeared at Coal Hill.

On 12 October, student Kevin Williams stayed at the school after dark and encountered a Shadow Kin. Quill gave him a displacement gun. Kevin shot the Shadow Kin with it, killing both the monster and himself.

The next day, Corakinus, leader of the Shadow Kin, came to school after dark and encountered Quill, Charlie, and April, who had been preparing for the prom. April skimmed it with a displacement gun, causing the two to share one heart.

On the night of the Autumn Prom, 14 October, the Shadow Kin attacked the school en masse. One student, Rachel Chapman, was killed. The Twelfth Doctor arrived and used his sonic screwdriver to amplify the lights of Coal Hill School. The Shadow Kin were pushed back to where they came from and the prom was saved. The Doctor then talked to the five students who had helped him defeat the Shadow Kin: Charlie, April, Ram Singh, Tanya Adeola and Matteusz Andrzejewski. He tasked them with protecting Coal Hill from further alien attacks and tasked Quill with protecting them. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"])

A week later, the Governors sent a robot to Coal Hill to learn about Quill. Ram began finding himself near several of Coach Dawson's killings. The mate of Dawson's dragon returned to Coal Hill School intent on getting her back. He killed and skinned the headteacher, Mr Armitage, on 27 October. When, that same day, Ram realised that Dawson and his dragon tattoo were responsible for the killings, he and his friends confronted Dawson. The other dragon found Dawson at the same time and, with some encouragement from Ram, grabbed Dawson and took him through the hole in space-time, ending the killing spree. (TV: The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo [+]Loading...["The Coach with the Dragon Tattoo (TV story)"])

On Halloween, April organised a Halloween event at Coal Hill. (AUDIO: The Creeper [+]Loading...["The Creeper (audio story)"])

At the end of the month of October, the Lankin came through the rift, and spread out across Shoreditch. (TV: Nightvisiting [+]Loading...["Nightvisiting (TV story)"])

A few weeks after the Coal Hill defenders were formed and after Matteusz began living with Charlie, practically all of the students at Coal Hill were kidnapped by aliens and taken to a facility in the Void, where they were tricked into eradicating the Skandis so the aliens could sell the Skandis homeplanet. (PROSE: What She Does Next Will Astound You [+]Loading...["What She Does Next Will Astound You (novel)"])

Around mid-November, Coal Hill Academy got a new headteacher, Dorothea Ames.

Corakinus gained more control over April, and, through her, spat about the soldiers at Dunkirk being cowards, during Miss Shah's history class. Heavily concerned, April spoke to Ram, and the two skipped Miss Quill's class to talk things through. Near the school, Huw MacLean, April's father, approached her, against his restraining order, and April produced Shadow Kin scimitars, threatening him and advising him to run away. Dorothea Ames allowed Ram to take April home.

After school ended, Ames asked for Miss Quill's assistance in dealing with killer petals that had fallen all over town. She had touched one earlier in the day, and it drew blood from her, using it to multiply over and over again. Matteusz made similar observations about the petals: that they were unusual for the season, and that they might be dangerous. (TV: Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart [+]Loading...["Co-Owner of a Lonely Heart (TV story)"])

Closure[[edit] | [edit source]]

In 2086, Coal Hill was damaged in a fire, and closed down at least temporarily. The Eleventh Doctor referenced this event when he told Frank Armitage in 2013 that Coal Hill School would not be closing for another 73 years. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor [+]Loading...["The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)"]) The building survived, and was ultimately turned into into a block of flats towards the end of the 21st century. (AUDIO: All Hands on Deck [+]Loading...["All Hands on Deck (audio story)"])

Legacy[[edit] | [edit source]]

The building which had been Coal Hill, now converted into a block of flats, more or less survived the first Dalek invasion of the 22nd century, but it was not made habitable again until following the second invasion (AUDIO: All Hands on Deck [+]Loading...["All Hands on Deck (audio story)"]) in the 2190s, (AUDIO: Lucie Miller [+]Loading...["Lucie Miller (audio story)"]/To the Death [+]Loading...["To the Death (audio story)"]) when Susan Foreman moved in, eager to take the opportunity to make a new home in that "lovely old building". The playground had since been torn up and replaced with a garden, with an oak tree which had been planted in memory of Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright still remaining. The block was visited by the Eighth Doctor as he moved to intercept Hypercube messages which were being sent by the Time Lords. He was, however, ultimately unable to stop Susan from answering and accepting their request to aid them in their war against the Daleks, with a Battle TARDIS arriving to pick her up. (AUDIO: All Hands on Deck [+]Loading...["All Hands on Deck (audio story)"])

Recreations[[edit] | [edit source]]

During her travels with the First Doctor, Ian Chesterton, and Susan Foreman, Barbara Wright was attacked by an alien being and forced to live through a warped version of her time at Coal Hill in which she had frequent panic attacks and a slight murderous tendency.

When Ian Chesterton and Barbara Wright were kidnapped by Prometheans in 1965, they were trapped in a psychic metal prison that perfectly recreated Coal Hill School on an open evening in 1963. Their memories were altered so that they suspected nothing unusual. The Eleventh Doctor found Ian and Barbara and helped them escape by reminding them of their adventures with him. (COMIC: Hunters of the Burning Stone [+]Loading...["Hunters of the Burning Stone (comic story)"])

The Time Museum contained a recreation of one of Coal Hill School's science classrooms in its Ian Chesterton exhibit. (AUDIO: The Time Museum [+]Loading...["The Time Museum (audio story)"])

School uniform[[edit] | [edit source]]

At least two of its school colours were black and emerald green, since these were the colours of Ian Chesterton's official school tie. (TV: "The Centre" [+]Part of The Web Planet, Loading...{"namedep":"The Centre (6)","1":"The Web Planet (TV story)"})

Part of Susan Foreman's official school uniform was "a rather drab" grey tunic. There was a little badge embroidered on the apron, which stood out in red and gold and read "COAL HILL SCHOOL". (PROSE: Nightshade [+]Loading...["Nightshade (novel)"])

According to another account, Coal Hill was a secondary modern school, and therefore required no uniform. The only rule regarding clothing was that girls may not wear trousers. Headmaster Basil James Carker had turned down dozens of petitions that girls be allowed to wear trousers to school. Susan commented in her diary that "[she thought] he'd be happiest if [girls] had to wear Mohammedan veils and Idaho potato-sacks". (PROSE: Time and Relative [+]Loading...["Time and Relative (novel)"])

By 2016, uniforms were not required for sixth formers. (TV: For Tonight We Might Die [+]Loading...["For Tonight We Might Die (TV story)"])
