King Charles I School

king charles i school

Worcestershire.

We are proud of our school; it has a very long heritage and a very bright future. The foundation of our school is an old one. We are the only secondary school, in the United Kingdom, to bear the name of King Charles I. Although he gave us our charter in 1636, the foundation was established by Thomas Blount, esq., Lord of the Manor of Kidderminster, some 70 years earlier. A document dated 1609 describes the origins of the school. Various lands acquired by the Parish Church of St. Mary and All Saints as investments were confiscated by the State during the Protestant Reformation and early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, Roger Maunsell of Pedmore purchased them. He levied penal rents and following an appeal from the tenants to the Lord of the Manor, Thomas Blount bought the lands and arranged in 1566 that the rents should be used to endow a free grammar school in Kidderminster “for the instruction of youth in good letters and manners”. In the 1630s an inquiry was held into the administration of the endowments and as a result of this the charter was granted by King Charles I in 1636. This charter which was part of one given to the town, laid down the manner in which the school should be run and lasted over 200 years. From 1566 to 1848 the School was carried out in the Chantry of the Parish church of St Mary and All Saints although it was not a chantry school. In 1848 the school moved to the site known as Woodfield on Bewdley Road. In the mid-nineteenth century King Charles I School, like most other ancient schools in England, was reorganised under schemes devised by the endowed schools commissioners and the charity commissioners to meet an increasing demand for secondary education in which england seemed to have fallen woefully behind other european countries. In 1902 the school became ‘grant aided’ within Worcestershire County Council; this status was continued as ‘voluntary aided’ until after 1944. In order to provide finance for accommodation thought necessary in the late 1950’s the school became ‘voluntary controlled’ in 1958 and remained as such up to April, 2012 when it became an academy.

College for Financial Planning

college for financial planning

In July 2018, Kaplan acquired the College for Financial Planning®, bringing together two respected leaders in financial services education. College for Financial Planning®—a Kaplan Company (CFFP) remains a separate institution, owned by Kaplan and accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Education programs in financial planning, asset management, wealth management, and retirement planning including our CFP® certification program, professional designation programs, Master’s Degree in Personal Financial Planning, and Master’s Degree in Financial Analysis are offered under the name College for Financial Planning®—a Kaplan Company. The financial planning movement experienced a historic moment in December 1969 when 13 men gathered in Chicago and outlined the first steps to further the idea that people could benefit from a profession that integrated knowledge and practices across the various areas of the financial services industry. Resolutions were made to create the International Association for Financial Planners (IAFP) and the College for Financial Planning. Founded in 1972, the College for Financial Planning®—a Kaplan Company has a 50 year heritage in financial planning education. Shortly after its founding, the College introduced the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM certification, which is now the world’s most recognized and respected financial planning credential with more than 90,000 certified professionals. Five decades after the the launch of our CFP® Certification Professional Education Program that led to the creation of the CFP® certification, our offerings now also include Master of Science degree programs in Personal Financial Planning and Financial Analysis as well as professional designation programs that provide more in-depth knowledge of the financial services industry with specializations in asset management, retirement planning and personal financial planning. These specializations include launching groundbreaking designation programs related to behavioral finance, domestic partnerships and sustainable, responsible, and impact (SRI) investments. The ongoing expansion of our education offerings is a reflection of our commitment to responding to the needs of the evolving financial services industry and supporting professionals looking to add to their skillset, advance their careers and create better outcomes for their clients. Since the first graduating class in 1973, more than 195,000 financial professionals are alumni of the College.
