Brune Park Community School is a secondary school located on Military Road, Gosport, Hampshire, England.
History and operations
The school was opened at its current location in 1965 and amalgamated the existing Central School with the Grove Boys' and Girls' Secondary Modern Schools.
It has 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 prêt (always ready).
