Fort Hill Community School was a coeducational secondary school located in Winklebury, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England.

Location

[edit]

The school was built within the ramparts of an Iron Age hill fort, Winklebury Ring.[1] Around the school perimeter some of the old ditch site still remains. It is thought that the Celts once established a farming society around this fort. [citation needed]

The school was closed in 2018 and demolition of the site commenced in January 2019.[2]
