Brune Park Community College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brune Park Community College (previously Brune Park Community School and Brune Park Secondary School) is located on Military Road, Gosport, Hampshire.
The school was opened in 1965 and amalgamated the existing schools Grove Boys' and Girls' Secondary Modern Schools at it's current location. It previously offered a Sixth Form facility alongside the standard Secondary facility but this was removed in 1987 with the Sixth Form facilities being provided by St Vincent College and Fareham College.
The name comes from the Prideaux-Brune family who donated the land on which the school is built to the Local Education Authority for the purpose of establishing a school. The crest is based on the Prideaux-Brune coat-of-arms and the motto is Toujours Pret, 'Always Ready'.
Famous people such as Keith Allen (AKA Fat Les), Marcus Patrick (AKA Ben from Hollyoaks) and Paul Charman (multi-millioniare entrepreneur) all attended this school in their time.
The approximate number of students currently enrolled is 1700.
The other main secondary education schools in the area are Bay House School and Bridgemary Community School.
