History

Mount Grace was originally a manor house built by the photographer Roger Fenton around 1853; it was named after his wife Grace.[3] In 1949 the manor house was used as a children's home and in 1954 the school itself was built.

Local football

Potters Bar Town F.C. (originally named Mount Grace Old Scholars) was established on 29 June 1960 by the then PE Master Ken Barrett along with pupils and other old scholars. This is why the nickname of the team today is Scholars, referring to Mount Grace School. The name was changed to Potters Bar Town in 1991.[4] In the early days of the team other staff members of the school also helped including Bert Wright, the school's caretaker.
