Lower Broadheath School, May 24′th 1911

The School was founded in 1874 controlled by the Church of England.
Since 1952 the County Education Authority has been responsible for running.
The school log for 1895 gives the number of pupils as 121 must have been large families then, but until 1930 all children attended were aged 5-14 .

The substantial wooden frame in top right of picture was put up in 1901 at east end of Chapel- of -Ease, to hang a bell that had previously hung in Grimley and Hallow churchs. This bell was later installed in the new Lower Broadheath Church.

In later times the Chapel-of-ease was integrated into the main school.
