In 1895 with the coming of Amy Vincent it was found necessary to start an English section for the benefit of the English-speaking children (16 on the roll).

Vincent overworked her strength in establishing the separate English School that took her name, and was invalided home in 1902, where after a painful illness she died in 1905.

For the next ten years Misses Hall, Duckering, and Church, all gave short periods of service and, amid constant changes in the staff, the work was carried on with great difficulty.

In 1928 the School was again upgraded, and in 1932 Eugene Nallaratnam (R. Edwards) was the first pupil to be successful in the Senior Cambridge examination.

At the end of the period Croft too was herself giving attention to the organising of games and physical education at Vincent, in addition to all the work involved in supervising a rapidly expanding School and the Hostel.
