Bohunt School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bohunt School is a state run Secondary School located in the town of Liphook, Hampshire. It is co-educational and takes children from age 11-16 and currently has over 1200 pupils enrolled.
The school was opened in 1978 and the current Headteacher is Mr Alan Taylor-Bennett.
Bohunt is designated a Language College which means that it specialises in modern foreign languages and all puils take at least one to GCSE with many taking two. Bohunt also has a very active drama department, performing musicals every year - Notably the most recent production of Sweeney Todd's Shock and Roll Show. The show was a great success with fantastic performances from Sam MacCuaig, Myles Cave, Charlie Granger and Claire O'neil - backed by a wonderful supporting cast.
Bohunt's main intake comes mostly from three schools known as "the Bohunt triangle" theses are Liss Junior School, Liphook Church of England (controlled) Junior School and Greatham Primary School with some of its intake also coming from Grayshott C E Controlled Primary School and other local schools in Hampshire, Surrey, and Sussex.
The pupils are split up into a house system with nine houses, each taking the name of an important person from the local area these are:
- Austen House after Jane Austen
- Cobbett House after William Cobbett
- Doyle House after Arthur Conan Doyle
- George House after David Lloyd George
- Hudson House after William Henry Hudson
- Opie House after Iona Opie
- Shaw House after George Bernard Shaw
