Amery Hill School, Alton, Hampshire - a photo on Flickriver

Amery Hill School, Alton, Hampshire

            The school opened here in 1939 as a senior school and has gradually expanded into a number of extensions as a comprehensive with academy status. 

The original building is a typical Hampshire design of the late 1930s built around a courtyard with mostly pitched roof but some flat roof parts in one or two floors. It appears in earlier pictures that the side wings had a flat roof which was unusual for schools of this type in the county at the time but additional floors where added in the 1950s which might have been the intention from the start. The school especially resembles Millbrook School in Southampton (originally built by Hampshire LEA and now Compass School) but is not identical. 

Other buildings include a two story SCOLA building from the 1970s and additional to the main building in keeping with the original, a sports hall a new dinning room and a two story building completed in the mid 2000s. 

The school's canteen seems to be the third one. A SCOLA building was the previous dinning room while earlier pictures show a 1940s dinning room where the car park now is.
