bps flyer 03 200Updated: Now 4pm - 7pm
Ex-students, teachers and staff are invited to an event to say goodbye to their old school before the buildings are demolished.

 

Bitterne Park School is due to move, lock, stock, and barrel, into a new building which is under construction in time for the start of the autumn term.

The focus will then be on demolishing the old school buildings – where many have attended since it opened in 1965.

Deputy headteacher Christopher Whitbread previously told bitternepark.info: “People love the old school, and I love the old school as well: the feel of the old school. It's got 50 years of history seeping out the walls.”

You’ll have your chance to say your goodbyes at the open event on Wednesday, June 14. There will be tours of both the old school and the sixth form, information on display about the new school buildings, and a chance to see if you’re in any of the photos which will be on display.

Update 5/6/17: the event has been extended to run until 7pm to enable more people to attend.

You can read our full interview with Christopher Whitbread about planning the move to the new school here and see the school’s flyer promoting the event below.
