Boxford Primary School

The Story So Far …..

In 1839 the first part of our school was built.

It was built by William Howe.

As a National School it was for all the children from Boxford.

Ten years later the school was too

small.A new school for the infants

was built further up the road.Children came to

the school on our site when they were older and

stayed until they went to work

between 13 and 15 years old.

In 1896 a new classroom was built

on. This is now room 5.

We looked for evidence of the

school’s history.

We had to look very closely at the building and the old

building plans.

This plan show us what the front of the school looked like

This is where Mrs Dainty’s Classroom is now

This plan shows us where the windows and doors were

Can you see the arched pattern of the bricks and the concrete lintel?

This picture shows one of the original windows

This is the same window from outside. You can see the original concrete moulding.

From the inside……

…….and from the outside.

This is the outside wall of the old school building which is now in Miss Davey’s classroom. We can’t see any evidence of the old wall because the windows have been blocked up and the walls have been plastered.
