First stop off during a busy solo exploring day in Stoke.
The school was built in 1964 and added to over the years. In 2011 it merged with Berry Hill High School to become the St Peter's Academy. Eventually in 2013 the academy moved to a new 22 million pound building. The school was later used temporarily by Sutherland Primary Academy.
After a bit of squeezing and climbing I was in (and then seeing a much more obvious way in on the way out). There's been a couple of reports in the last few months, but the place is even more stripped and trashed now. The locals are doing a lot of curtain twitching and police have been called a few times due to the local tykes being seen throwing stuff around.
Very '60s looking exterior
Starting off in Design and Technology
Destroyed IT room
Most of the corridors and stairways featured huge hand painted scenes and murals. It seems such a shame the place will soon get flattened and they'll be gone.
Science rooms with an alarming number of probably poisonous spilled substances coating the floors
Good old umbex chair in the music room
The assembly hall and stage looked like a tazmanian devil had been through it, but was still quite photogenic
The sports hall with enormous weird bulge in the wooden floor
And a couple more miscellaneous bits
Quite ransacked, but plenty to see and a good two hour explore.
