Charles Edward Brooke School: detail of tower
Image: © Robin Stott Taken: 23 Jun 2013
The 'six-storey' south tower of the original building with the girls' and infants' entrances at the bottom. The original building, built in 1897 for the London School Board, consisted of a 3-storey central block with a 6-storey tower on each side. It was extended in 1912. See Image After the First World War the Cormont Secondary School became the Kennington Boys School, an annexe of the Kennington Secondary School. Today, the building is Grade II listed and is the Charles Edward Brooke Girls' School, administered by the Church of England. Information from 'Lost Hospitals of London' http://www.ezitis.myzen.co.uk/firstlondon.html I am uncertain as to the present status of the school.
