Good luck.
Due to space restrictions the school records that I wanted used to be archived with the local Town Authority, but during re-organised they were given to the County authority. The latter authority disposed of oldest records to make room for more recent school records The exceptions being pupils who became famous.
Much to my chagrin I think they could have done the reorganising when I had made a special visit to the town only to find every office that I planned to visit was closed, such as the Registrars office for BMDs, etc. The local main library didn't have many records either , I think they were given to the local college/university to sort, study and then archive in their premises.
