==History==
==History==
All Hallows was founded as a boys' school in 1938 by Francis Dix but not at the current location. Shortly after [[World War II]], the school moved into the Grade II* [[listed building|listed]] Cranmore Hall&nbsp;— the former home of [[Sir Richard Paget, 2nd Baronet|Sir Richard]] and [[Muriel Paget|Lady Paget]]&nbsp;— which had been used as a maternity hospital during the war.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=268267 |title=Cranmore Hall, walling and gazebo, now part of All Hallows School |accessdate=18 February 2012 |format= |work=Images of England|publisher=English Heritage }}</ref>

The school became co-educational in 1971. In 2006 the school acquired a new modern classroom block, the Crane Wing. The name of Cranmore derives from Crane's Mere&nbsp;— the original name for the area based upon the name of the bird and the former wetlands it inhabited. In 2007 an extension to the [[Reception (school)|reception]] classroom was built.
