St Leonard's School |
St Leonard's School in Oxford Road, Horsham is awaiting demolition at the time of creating this feature. As the crest on the front of the school shows it was opened in 1914. The crest is to be recovered at the time of demolition and given to Horsham Museum
The new development will comprise 12 semi-detatched houses and eight flats, the flats being in two two storey buildings. For details on the planning application see the external link below
When the school opened it was as Oxford Road Senior Boys' and Girls' School later to become St Leonard's Infant School. In 2004 it was announced that the school would move to the Chesworth site, merging with Chesworth Junior School to become Kingslea Primary, this took place in 2006
Sue Checkland has collected some reminiscences about the schooling at the Oxford Road location, see external links below, and this feature is not intended to duplicate them. The purpose of this page is to provide an on-line photo record of the buildings
The crest, as shown below, is to be salvaged and will go to Horsham Museum
