This was probably not the first National School in Bloxwich. In a book by E. L. Glew it says that a school was built in
		1828. It describes it as a neat, brick building with a handsome clock on top. In 1860 it was demolished and in 1861 a new building took its place, and it is these classrooms that are still in use today.
The school still has a faded picture of the original building. During the Second World War the school helped by sending the older pupils to help on local farms when there weren’t enough adults to do the work. In 1947, during a very severe winter,
When there wasn’t much coal and lots of power cuts, pupils had to be sent home, and it was even closed for a while. The bottom photo was taken in May 2000.
