Hornton National School was built in 1833. As a result of poor reports and lack a funds a School Board was compulsorily elected in 1875 and by 1878 was trying to take over management of the School. The vicar worked to get the order to erect a new School overturned and in 1881 the school reopened having been repaired and had a new wing added. The school became a Church of England School though the School Board remained until 1903. The school was destroyed by fire in 1912 and was replaced by a Council School in 1914. See S139/2 for records of this school. Please see CC4/116 for other records of this school.
The records were deposited as part of Acc 4453 in February 1999 and as Acc 4646 in October 1999. Recatalogued by Alison Smith in October 2013.
