Aelfgar Centre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Aelfgar Centre, is the sixth form college of two medium-sized High Schools; Fair Oak Business and Enterprise College and Hagley Park Sports College in Rugeley, Staffordshire. The centre offers a variety of A-Level and vocational courses, as well as several Adult Education programmes scheduled between 8am and 9pm on weekdays. Facilities are basic but competent; including two computer suites, a gym hall and a now-disused swimming pool.

Aelfgar's results attainment, in terms of A-Levels, is frequently of a far higher standard than Stafford College - the centre's main rival in terms of local student recruitment.^{[citation needed]}

A little known fact about the centre's history is that it was temporarily used as a German POW camp during the Second World War between 1942 - 1944. Any soldiers unlucky enough to be killed over the region were buried at the nearby war cemeteries in Cannock Chase.
