Encyclopedia
Bethnal Green Technology College or simply known as BGTC (and formerly known as Daneford and Bethnal Green High School) is a mixed state comprehensive school for students aged between 11-16 based in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets
, in east London.
The school used to be a single sex boys school, however between 1996-1997 after lengthy consultations and votes, the school accepted girls. Complying with rules, the school name changed from Daneford to Bethnal Green High School. New school uniforms were designed to reflect the change, the new blazers were dark green, shirts were white, trousers were black and ties were diagonal dark green and gold stripes.
The school once again changed their name, this time to Bethnal Green Technology College as the school had now acquired specialist status. The school has had another uniform change as well as a new school badge.
The indoor gym was opened in 1998. The school has a history of participating in Hockey
tournaments and developing young players.
