Talk:The Grange Academy, Bushey

History[edit]

Perhaps this school at its earlier site is the same as "Watford Secondary Technical School, Bushey Hall", listed in Bushey, Hertfordshire: Official Guide, Bushey: Bournehall Press, 1956. Kanguole (talk) 10:03, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the location of the Bushey Hall school I recall, 51°39′18″N 0°22′41″W / 51.654933°N 0.378127°W. Is that where WSTS was? Bazj (talk) 12:07, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The above quote is all I could find about it. We are missing a lot of detail on this period. Kanguole (talk) 12:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From digging around nostalgia sites, it seems that in 1957 Watford Technical High School moved from Queens Road Watford to Bushey Hall Road (and that's the only school-sized redevelopment on that road). Kanguole (talk) 13:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given what we've got, perhaps edit this article to: "...then home to Grange Park School, until it merged with Queens' School in 1985. Bushey Hall School opened on the campus shortly thereafter. <<snip>> The school attained grant maintained ...", removing the Campus and School headers

And create a new article for WSTS: "Watford Secondary Technical School was located on Queens Road, Watford and later on Bushey Hall Road. A housing estate and caravan site now occupy the Bushey Hall Road site."

How does that seem? Bazj (talk) 15:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think we have enough details for a WSTS/WTHS article (and no sources). And it's possible that this school was renamed Bushey Hall at the time of the comprehensive reorganization in Herts (around 1970), well before it moved, so that a single article would make more sense. More info is needed, anyway. Kanguole (talk) 15:42, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Had a trawl round the local history section in Watford library:

1941 Kelly's Directory - Watford Technical & Art Institute, Queen's Road
1947 "Educational Facilities in Hertfordshire" - not listed
1956 Watford Official Town Guide, p43 - Watford Technical School, Queen's Road
1963 Watford Official Guide, p79 - Watford Technical High School, Bushey Hall Road, Bushey.

A scan through the Kelly's Directories may pin down dates of name change but the last copy is 1974 so it's not going to show the move away from Bushey Hall Road. Bazj (talk) 06:55, 22 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
