Boxford Primary School The Story So Far ..
2
In the beginning ....

• 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.

3
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.
4
In 1896 a new classroom was built on. This is
now room 5.

We looked for evidence of the schools history.
We had to look very closely at the building and
the old building plans.

These are the old building plans of the school
This plan show us what the front of the school
looked like
This is where Mrs Daintys Classroom is now
This plan shows us where the windows and doors
were

We looked in the activity area between rooms 5
and 6
and found evidence of the original doorway

• 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
This is the original doorway
.and from the outside.
10
This is the outside wall of the old school
building which is now in Miss Daveys classroom.
We cant see any evidence of the old wall because
the windows have been blocked up and the walls
have been plastered.
