Viewed across Albert Road. The school was founded in 1876. The building's Victorian grey stonework is topped by newer roofing. In its early years, the school was for all children up to school leaving age, though schooling did not become mandatory in the UK until 1880, when all children had to attend school until they were 10 years old. In 1889, the school leaving age was raised to 12.
