Purbrook Park School

Welcome to Purbrook Park School's Facebook page. Please don't forget to look at our other school Facebook pages too - PE, ADT and Purbrook Park Performers. We also have an alumni page for ex-pupils of our school.

Our beautiful main building was built by John Deverell in 1839, and remained in the Deverell family until 1919. In 1924, the county authorities bought the house and estate for £11, 000.

In 1924, our school opened as ‘Purbrook Park County High School’. The school quickly became very popular and well respected, and a building programme was begun. Our original school hall was built in 1928, and our first school gymnasium in 1935.

Further building work took place in the 1950s and 1960s as the school continued to flourish and grow in popularity. In 1989, the main building was 150 years old, and further extensions and renovations took place.

In April 2015, we were delighted to open our new state of art 3G sports pitches. Brand new football, rugby and cricket pitches opened in September 2016.

Also in 2016, we are very excited to be renovating and extending our school further. Fantastic facilities include our Discovery Centre with new computer suites, and a brand new kitchen and two-storey canteen. Further developments to our school will include a new music suite, and new facilities for the Performing Arts.
