Locking Primary School
Schooling in the area had begun in the mid nineteenth century: the Parochial School opened opposite the church in 1858, paid for by subsidies from the church, the Society of Merchant Venturers and ratepayers. Pupils attended until the ravages of WWI saw numbers drop alarmingly and the school closed in 1916. Thus it remained but the military became involved once more: the air base of Locking grew in the post-WWII era and so many children needed educating closer to home. Old huts were given over to a school from 1952.
Conditions were not ideal and as numbers increased, the need to move to new premises became pressing. In 1966, fields in the village that were part of Manor Farm became the site for a new school, which was named Locking County Primary School. Anew infant facility was opened in 1972.
