History

Ridgeway Avenue

The school at Ridgeway Avenue was constructed in 1949–50 to a design by the Architects' Co-Partnership using a steel frame and precast concrete panels and coloured panel infill. It used a Hills 8' 3" system as specified by Hertfordshire County Council. The assembly hall includes an important mural by Fred Millett,[1][2] now covered, who also designed for London Transport.[3]

Windsor Drive

The Windsor Drive school, originally known as Littlegrove Mixed School, was opened in August 1933.[4]
