FURTHERWICK PARK (FORMERLY CANVEY SECONDARY) SCHOOL, CANVEY ISLAND
Admin History:
In 1957 Canvey Secondary School was opened on Furtherwick Road to replace William Read Secondary School on Long Road (formerly known as Canvey Elementary School). The new school was renamed Furtherwick Park School in 1966. Sections of the school were damaged by fire in 1976; some of the records show evidence of charring. An adult education centre was added c.1990 and the school was renamed Furtherwick Park. In 2010 the school buildings began to be demolished, with a view to final closure in 2011.
