Any information on St Margaret’s School, Esplanade, Burnham, Somerset
« on: Tuesday 09 December 14 04:38 GMT (UK) »
I located an ancestor [Evelyn Mary James] who was a pupil at St Margaret’s School, Esplanade, Burnham, Somerset in the 1911 Census. 

I wanted to provide some information about the school but haven't been able to locate anything on it including it denomination etc and wondered if any Rootschatters know any information on the school.

Edit - there are a number of articles in the press on the school. One mentions the Preb H E Wake vicar of Burnham on Sea presiding at the school's speech day in 1934.   Others refer to the school being founded by Misses May and Jessie Cooper .   Miss Jessie was listed as member of the Church of England at her funeral in 1932.  Miss May retired in 1835 after 28 years service.
