Background
History
Between 1957 and 1965 it was known as 'Canvey Secondary'. It was renamed to 'Furtherwick Park School' in 1966. In 1976 sections of the school were damaged by fire. It celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007 and received media Arts College status. The school had around 1,000 pupils. The school closed in 2011 due to a reduction in pupil numbers on Canvey Island, which caused great concern amongst parents. The grounds were reused for the new Castle View School which moved to new buildings on the location of the former school.
