Charles Edward Brooke School

Charles Edward Brooke School was a school in Camberwell, London, England.

History

The school was first established as St Gabriel's College 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.[1] After the war it became the Kennington Boys 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.[2] After the school closed in 2012, part of the site was converted for residential use as St Gabriel's Manor.[1][3]
