[5] In 1900, The Boys' Grammar School on Throwley Road in Sutton began to offer evening classes in art for older part-time students.
In 1929, the Boys' school moved to Manor Lane, Sutton and the art program became a department of The Evening Institute, which took over the Throwley Road premises.
By 1934, the school of art occupied the full premises at Throwley Road, and had 261 students (28 full-time, 233 part-time).
