Hello all, this is my first post so please point out anything I improve upon for next time. I plan to do more reports as I disover new places local to me (West Midlands) and visit old spots I havn't photographed yet.
History
Hunters Hill College, a special needs school which catered to 80-100 students in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. The school temporarily closed 2019 because of declining pupil numbers, poor building conditions, and financial constraints. Birmingham City Council abruptly shutted the entire school in August 2021 following an OfSTED inspection, which rated it as 'inadequate,' citing insufficient funding as the primary reason. The campus comprises the main building housing classrooms, a gym, MUGA, and several staff buildings, three of which staff slept in. In 2022-2023 it was used as a security / K9 training area so bullets can be found dotted around making it look like a murder scene along with the police tape.
The Explore
This was my third time giving the school a visit and thought I'd take some pictures using my phone as people are slowly discovering this place it's becoming more vandalised which is a shame. Me and a mate bumped into a group of fellow explorers in one of the staff builidings which was a first for us and them (Hello! if you are on this site). On the way out I nabbed some pictures of the campus on my drone showing how massive it is. The pictures I took really don't do it justice, I plan to shoot only in landscape for my next report.
Sadly we coudn't get the computer to post.
The whole basement is filled with water currently along with some of the sealed off parts of the school.
There were many bullets in the gym. This room was great and even has some basketballs which were inside the store cupboard.
Thanks for looking!
