The exact site of the school or schools prior to 1872 is in some doubt but there was a school on Shop Hill on the 1850 map. Further research is under way but the names of the Head Teachers from 1872 that we have are certain, the earlier names are likely to have been the head masters. The names are:,/br> 1822 Samuel Gleeson,/br>1838 – 1851 William Beavers
1861 – 1871 John Rawlinson
1872 – 1873
