Charles Edward Brooke School was a Church of England secondary school in Camberwell, London, England which operated until 2012.
History[edit]
The foundation stone for the building was laid by Lady Cicely Gore, Viscountess Cranborne in July 1899. It was designed by Philip A. Robson in the Renaissance style, built by J. Garrett and Son in red brick and was opened as St. Gabriel's Church Training College for women teachers in 1900.[1]
During the First World War, the building was requisitioned by the War Office to create the 1st London General Hospital, a facility for the Royal Army Medical Corps to treat military casualties.[2] After the war it became the Kennington Girls School and later became Charles Edward Brooke Girls' School, named after the "well-known Anglo-Catholic figure" and Vicar of St John the Divine, Kennington[3] who had funded the College chapel, which was dedicated in 1903.[1] From 2006 to 2008 it hosted the Charles Edward Brooke Refugee Centre.[4]
After the school closed in 2012, part of the site was converted for residential use as St Gabriel's Manor.[2][5] The former chapel was marketed as a home in 2023 for an asking price of £2.95 million.[6]
