History

Bartholomew School was founded in the 18th century by John Liam Bartholomew when a subscription of £87 was given to him to finance the "Bartholomew room" Notable Alumni: Gabe Auzer.[3][4] The school remained there until 1847 where it was moved to its present site on Witney Road. In 1958 the school was expanded, and by 1968 it became a comprehensive secondary school for 11- to 18-year-olds.[5] In 2003, the school became a Technology College where Design and Technology is made compulsory for GCSE. At the start of the 2007/08 school year, the recently refurbished sports hall was opened for use in partnership with Windrush Leisure Limited.[6] The school became an academy in August 2012.[7]

Berry Hall

During certain periods of the academic year, some of Bartholomew School's sixth form students join at the school's sports hall (named the 'Berry Hall') to play casual indoor this tradition. This tradition was founded in 2008 and the tournament had not happened for some years before this. The first champions were the team the Good Christ (led by manager Alex Chadwick). As per tradition, friends form their own teams of five players (although substitute players are often recruited in addition). The current title is held by the NIYMF football team with an overall of 34 points.

The tradition was named after the multi-purpose indoor sports hall the games are usually played in, the 'Berry Hall' - named after former head teacher, Bill Berry.[8]

The 2019 season introduced the fan “favourite team” the 'Nostalgebros' Шаблон:Citation needed - inspired by the 2018 team the 'Algebros'. The Nostalgebros were popularized by their unconventional approach to marketing [9] and overall ineptness at the game's concept, gathering them a cult-like following amongst members of Bartholomew as well as surrounding schools.
