Heatherdown School

Set in 30 acres (12 ha) of grounds, it typically taught between eighty and ninety boys between the ages of seven and thirteen and closed in 1982.

[1] During their first year at the school, boys attended classes in the main school building but at night returned to Heatherlea, a small house set back from the London Road near the Royal Foresters Hotel.

After the first year boys moved to the main school building where dormitories where located in the first and second floors.

In addition to the main school and Heatherlea there was also a carpentry shop, a model room, a gatehouse and air raid shelter.

After closing in 1982 for financial difficulty, the buildings were bought by the Licensed Victuallers, in order to set up a junior school.
