This is the west elevation, showing the single-storey buildings facing Sandy Hill Road. The larger three-storey building (east side) faces Bloomfield Road itself. It is typical of dozens of Board School erected in London during the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century. Its use and status have changed many times over the years. For example in the 1950s it was a boys 'central school' (i.e. midway between a grammar and a secondary modern). In the 1930s, however, it was a mixed elementary school, with pupils aged 11-14.
