Report - St John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School (May 2023) Medway

[Exploring With Pride 🌈]

St John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School was of two schools in Chatham that moved to Rochester to combine the two schools into one site, this one is the larger one, among its former students are ballroom dancer and tv presenter, james jordan and retired footballer, jimmy corbett who played for Gillingham, blackburn rovers, portsmouth and southend united, the site closed in February following the move to Rochester and is most likely due to be demolished for housing as the site's adjacent are currently in development.

The explore
After seeing pics posted in a local group, i had looked up the site before but as google still lists it as active school with opening times I thought i must of been looking up the wrong place lol. We visited this place several times the first ended with police turning up 😂 but the later visits we had no trouble.
The pics will be a mix of day and night shots

The site still has working power, water and gas kinda scary considering we came across a room with a burst tap and room below had water pouring through the ceiling by working lights

with each visit there was fewer projectors eventually all of them had gone,

stairwell to canteen and stage halls

lights, camera, action

the sports hall

below the hall was a small workshop even with a small 3D printer

we then headed to the classroom block containing the labs

I dunno what they were studying here but it's sound's scary 😂

what looked like the staff areas with coffee all over the floor

another workshop with machinery still there

Students work still up

One Room even had working aircon lol was very nice in this heat

Dance hall maybe?

The rest

Thanks for looking

Such a big building, attempted entering through the back of the playground area however got scanned by the big blue cameras operating the security and didn’t want to risk entry with a struggle to exit.

Are the cameras active?

There are two camera towers but can be avoided

They went off saying something along the lines of “you have been detected, get off site” we were quite far from them at the time so it was a distinct message but was definitely heard. Began entrance through a back fence and went around the playground managed to get to the bottom science classes but couldn’t figure a way into the main building

Oh okay, did police turn up? At least you were safe

Sounds like a pretty standard pre recorded motion sensor.

Revisit tonight to check out the fire damage and the whole place has been gutted

The fire was contained to the stage leaving the rest of the building untouched

Parts are starting to go moldy

And the rest has been stripped

we did come across something we didn't see before
