Brune Park Community College (previously Brune Park Community School and Brune Park Secondary School) is located on Military Road, Gosport, Hampshire. It is a secondary school and Arts College.
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).
Famous quotes containing the words park, community and/or college:
“and the words never said,
And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead.
We sat in the car park till twenty to one
And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.”
—Sir John Betjeman (1906–1984)
“Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.”
—John Lukacs (b. 1924)
“No girl who is going to marry need bother to win a college degree; she just naturally becomes a “Master of Arts” and a “Doctor of Philosophy” after catering to an ordinary man for a few years.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
