Administrative / biographical background

The school was opened in January 1870 as Christ Church District National School. It was built directly behind the parsonage, on land given in 1868 by Messrs Snoxall and Wallis, and was designed by H E Rumble and built by Mr Peerless. There were both mixed and infants' departments on the site; the latter was made separate in 1882, and closed in 1953 (E/SC/52)

The mixed school was destroyed by enemy action in 1940 (E/SC/209/6/1) and was then moved to Stafford House, 5 Upperton Road (which had been previously used by Eastbourne High School for Girls). From 1 August 1953 the school became the Stafford County Junior School and in September 1958 it moved to premises in Whitley Road. A newly built school was opened in September 1969 in Ringwood Road
