The building was an imposing one, reflecting the new emphasis on education, but its location adjacent to the railway with steam trains thundering past every few minutes was a hindrance.
[1] The building was demolished in 1936 by The London County Council to be replaced by Wornington Road Elementary School with better facilities including a library and a gymnasium with changing rooms and showers.
Significant changes in the local community were reflected in the ongoing use of the building, Adult Education had expanded during the seventies under the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA) and as the number of primary school pupils dropped due classrooms at Wornington Road were increasingly used for evening and day classes for adults.
The building hosted the Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre from 1992 until the move to purpose built premises in Acklam Road in 1998.
[2] Wornington Road ultimately became the hub of Kensington and Chelsea College with many thousands of students attending a wide range of vocational courses.
