Records of Arlesey School [St Peter's Board, Siding Council Mixed, CP Infant, CP Junior, Gothic Mede Lower]
Admin/biog history
The school was created as a boys school in 1876 when boys from St.Peter's Board School were moved there; girls from St.Peter's were moved to Arlesey Siding Council Mixed School in 1904 and the infants department was swelled by infants from the old Arlesey Council Infant School when that closed in 1926; infants were removed to Arlesey CP Infant School when the school became Arlesey CP Junior in 1946 and in 1977 the infants rejoined to create Gothic Mede Lower School
St Peter's National School was a mixed school plus infants, and continued under the School Board as a Girl's School, plus infants, with its own Headmistress and its own log book, as from August 1876
Arlesey Siding School - usually referred to in the Log Books and the School Board Minutes as the "Siding Schools" - whilst comprising one building seems to have been split up into three distinct schools, each of which was run independently by its own Head Teacher, and to have kept separate log books. When the County Council took over the running of the School it became, in September 1904, a mixed school (i.e. mixed classes), with the infants in a room of their own, under one Headmaster, with one log book.
