Utrecht – For years you walked around it every day: secondary school. For some a wonderful time, for others a horror, but it was certainly unforgettable. For many Utrecht residents, looking back is difficult, because many schools are no longer there. In recent decades they have perished in the changing city and the renewed educational landscape. The Niels Stensen College, Thorbecke, College De Klop: these are just a small selection. Today we look back at College Blaucapel, a school that guided tens of thousands of children through the formative years between 1965 and 2005. “It was a warm bath,” say former students.
