RVPS during Ww2[edit]

There seems to be a bit of mythology concerning the school's WW2 role as a refugee screening centre. That is all it was and there were no cells or thumbscrews! The inmates were treated well but every effort was made to get every shred of useful intelligence. There were other (very grim) interrogation centres for POWs and suspected spies, but RVPS was not one of them. 80.2.237.179 (talk) 21:05, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Post War[edit]

The Spencer Park School was housed in the RVPB and also in new buildings adjacent,built sometime around 1960. The last classes were held in the old building in 1976/7...I was at Honeywell JMI until 1976,and some of my classmates who went to Spencer Park had lessons there in their First Year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.59.243 (talk) 21:59, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
