This place only been closed a few months,and already the pikies are attacking. I was on my own and had a run in with one, he was as scared of me as i was of him, managed to get past him and out. he spoilt it for me he was covered in camo with oil all over his face heard him launching stuff around when i was leaving and spying on me as i walked round the outside of place, creepy man. heres me pics, enjoy.

Nice report n pics

Well done Barney..I too have done a few schools...it is a strange feeling walking round the classrooms but no humans in sight...I found the fact that soo much artwork was left pinned up to be very disturbing..some of it is quite good and must have been special to the person who created it..I always ask myself..why didnt they take it with them?Great pics mate..thanx for sharing em.

That place looks so grim, im glad where I work isn't like that! Bit weird all that stuff left on the walls, especially the photos

Cool explore anyway!

Well done mate. Its sad this as I went to this school from the age of 9 to 12. We had stables at the school with six ponies and used to get horse riding lessons. It was a nice place, except for the evil art teacher. Good explore mate!

BarneySchwarzenegger · May 19, 2008

cheers for comments, i was thinking all the art work left behind a bit eerie. sad fact i found on net there was an ofsted report on 12th march, i'm not sure but think it closed Easter holidays so it been closed less than 2 months hate to think what it will look like in another 2 months at this rate.

Barney, I bet you had a swing?

UrbanX · May 20, 2008

Good explore! Sad to see the artwork and photos still up tho.

fire*fly · May 20, 2008

nice one

Its odd the school closed part way through a school year

BigLoada · May 20, 2008

It was a really weird place this when I attended. Not only did we have the stables, but Friday afternoons we had Scottish country dancing lessons from which there was no escape. No wonder I grew up having to see a psychiatrist. Its about a mile from the nearest house as well, right in a bloody field.

Sabtr · May 20, 2008

Well done for doing this. I'm not suprised it's being attacked though. In one direction you have loads of dodgy car scrapyards and in the other you have a small, but thoroughly inbred housing estate. I never could understand why this school was in the middle of no-where!

I did want to but was trying to listen to my surroundings being as quiet as i could, not one for exploring by myself really. i'll be going back though with some folk and probably will get to do my tarzan impression :lol:

Sounds quite a cool and quirky school! :mrgreen:

Interesting explore this. I think it's rather nice to see the artwork and stuff left up...it's a shame to think it'll probably end up being trashed though.

There is some visible damage to caretakers house smashed windows and door boarded, didn't check it out really.

return visit

This is a little follow up, went back again with Vivo, intern and dave182. Managed to cover the place in full. I enjoyed the place this time, but sadly more damage has been done.

You got some class shots there mate. I had a good time too so thanks for inviting me along.

I quite fancy maybe going back once more if it's a sunny day.

intern · May 23, 2008

Hey good shots there mate. was a nice explore. cant believe how much its been trashed though in small amount of time. I wonder if that guy ever got lucky who was gonna use that mattress upstairs in the caretakers house. haha

Been thinking of checking this place out myself, going with a couple of mates who have never did this before, should be interesting, always find schools eerie when empty and everything is left there.
