My Grandmother was born in 1896 in Maidenhead. She is shown in the 1901 Census as living in Denmark Street. Can anyone suggest what school she might have attended? Any ideas at all would be much appreciated.

The nearest (primary) school to Denmark Street is St Luke's. It is still there.

Thank you so much for this information - in fact my Gran's parents were married in St. Lukes Church so it could follow that she went to St. Lukes School. I am thrilled to know it still exists, hope I will be able to get to Maidenhead sometime to visit.
Does anyone know if school records were kept from this time(early 1900s) and if it is possible to view them?

The Berkshire Unitary Authorities share the record office and Library Service and a number of other things like that.
Berkshire as a council of course no longer exists except for those of us interested in history. Its nearly as dead as Middlesex.

Grandmother's maiden name was Bishop. The family also has
connections with Cordwallis Road and Ray Park.

I lived in Cordwallis Road and went to the Primary School called Ellington (its opposite the bottom of Cordwallis Road) It may be worth checking in addition to St Lukes.

I've only just joined and come across this thread. I think some of the schools mentioned are much later than the period you are looking at. I think Ellington opened about 1932. I think St Lukes was probably later as well. The only schools I know of in 1903 were:
National Schools, East Street
Wesleyan Schools, King Street
Boyn Hill Schools
St Pauls, Albert Street
British Schools, West Street
Braywick School
Roman Catholic School, Cookham Road
West Street Council School (from 1904)
Brock Lane Council School (from 1904)
Hope that helps

The Berkshire Unitary Authorities share the record office and Library Service and a number of other things like that.
The UAs jointly fund the BRO (or 5 of them do) but the libraries are separate services. Maidenhead has a particularly good local histories section.
Berkshire as a council of course no longer exists except for those of us interested in history. Its nearly as dead as Middlesex.
Berkshire existed long before county councils were invented and still exists today. There is a Lord Lieutenant and an Archdeacon - and numerous Berkshire organisations.
