Scope and Content

After the Infants School had closed the building was later reused by St Peter-le-Bailey School. This had begun in New Road in 1866 as an infant's school, which had moved to New Inn Hall Street in 1898. In 1927 the school was transformed into a Senior Mixed School. Almost at once it had to leave its premises to make way for the new St Peter's Hall. The school first took up temporary lodgings in the Wesleyan Methodist Church in New Inn Hall Street, and then in 1929 it took over the old St Aldate's School building, changing its name in the move to St Aldate's Church of England School. This last incarnation of a St Aldate's school lasted in 1946 when it was closed and the site requisitioned by the Post Office.
