iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).The school was originally founded in 1824 in York Street, next to the parish church, and served a wide area until other local schools were built. An Infants' schoolroom was added in 1888 but destroyed in an air raid in 1944. In 1969 it moved to a new building in Enford Street, and in 2000 a Nursery Class was added.
