Dosthill School
A County Primary school catering for the 5 to 11 year-olds from the village of Dosthill.
The school was founded in 1887 under the Kingsbury school board. Dosthill was at that time in Warwickshire, but boundary changes placed Dosthill within the borough of Tamworth and so it was moved into Staffordshire. My father, P.D.H.Farrow, was headmaster of this school from 1965 until his retirement in 1979.
