History

Cranbourne was founded as the Cranbourne Bi-Lateral School in 1967 as a bilateral school for 11- to 18-year-olds, on the site of a former nursery. It became a comprehensive school in 1972 following the establishment of Queen Mary's Sixth Form College, [2] It was renamed Cranbourne Business and Enterprise College in September 2004. [3]

Cranbourne (or CBEC) became the first of two Business and Enterprise Colleges in Hampshire in 2004 and has scola architecture[ clarification needed ] refurbished in 2006. [4] CBEC is separated into 9 blocks and has a small swimming pool and a 3-story science block (C block).

The school changed its name back to Cranbourne (from CBEC) in September 2018. [5]

In July 2023 parts of the school ceased to be used after they were found to be made from reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete and thus potentially at risk of collapse. [6] [7]

Head Teachers

Amalgamating with Fort Hill Community School

At the end of the 2015-2016 academic year, Headmistress Betty Elkins resigned and Jane Aplin took over as Head. There are plans to merge the students of Fort Hill Community School with CBEC's due to low numbers at Fort Hill. At the county councils decision in June 2017, it was recommended and approved that Fort Hill will close on 31 August 2017. All Fort Hill pupils will start at Cranbourne in September 2017.[ citation needed ]
