Architect's drawing for new classrooms

Architect's drawing for new classrooms, 1st July 1876. Cecil Tripp states (p120) that originally only four classrooms were planned. Before long however, further classrooms were needed, and it was proposed that the line of classrooms already erected be extended.

Photograph of the new school entrance

Photograph of the new school entrance

The photograph was produced after the construction of a new entrance to the School grounds, with brick and stone gateposts and an iron railing fence. The right hand side gatepost bears the date "1875". In that year, the school was reopened after the implementation of a new Scheme of Management, made possible by the financial help of the Jesus Hospital charity of Barnet. At that time extensive building and renovation work took place, although the new entrance may not have been completed until 1877 (Tripp, pp. 109-122).
