Our History

Campions House Further Education Annexe

1960 to mid-1970s - became Elstree Screen Arts Academy

Green Street, Boreham Wood

Campions House and New Annexe

This was originally a Victorian house that had two new classrooms built in the grounds.  It was the first Further Education facility in Boreham Wood and provided education for day-release and evening class students.  Prior to this the house had been used as an overflow school for infants and juniors.  The annexe was built on a temporary basis until the new and permanent college was built in Elstree Way a few years later.  During these years the house was also used as a club for the local teenagers who painted and decorated the basement walls with murals.  The house was demolished in 1980 and the land used for housing development.
