Founded in 1860. Industrial Schools provided children with training and education, instead of imprisonment or other punishment. In the 1930s it became an Approved School for 105 boys aged between 13 and 15. The buildings are now used by Oak Hill School, the only school in the AP Barnet Multi Acadamy Trust.
