Coal Hill School (formally, Coal Hill Secondary School) was a comprehensive school located in Shoreditch, a suburb of London.
History
1963
In 1963, Barbara Wright taught history and Ian Chesterton taught science there. For about five months, Susan Foreman studied there. Susan's classmates included John Brent and Gillian Roberts. (PROSE: Time and Relative)
In late 1963, Wright and Chesterton went missing after leaving together after school to investigate the activities of Susan Foreman, who likewise disappeared. (TV: An Unearthly Child) Although Wright and Chesterton mysteriously returned to London two years later (TV: The Chase), Foreman was not heard from again.
Also, in 1963, Coal Hill School's headmaster, H. Parson, 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)
The deputy headmaster was Mr. Kint, "a thin but robust Irishman." Ian and Barbara's classrooms were C3 and C4 respectively. (PROSE: Nothing at the End of the Lane)
More disappearances occurred later in 1963 as a janitor of the school went missing. Ultimately, the school became the site of what was later dubbed the Shoreditch Incident (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy), a battle between British military forces, scientists and the Seventh Doctor (who, unbeknown to school officials, was responsible for the disappearances of Wright, Chesterton, and Susan), and Imperial 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 schoolyard, shattering glass. (TV: Remembrance of the Daleks)
Later events
The Eighth Doctor's companion, Sam Jones, attended Coal Hill School in 1997 before leaving in the TARDIS with him. (PROSE: The Eight Doctors)
School colours
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)
