« on: Sunday 04 August 24 20:45 BST (UK) »
in my grandmas things there is some typed up things about her father who went to polehampton school in twyford but im struggling to work out which polehampton school it was, there is the infant and juinior school in 2024 and also way back there is the polehampton boys school but im struggling to work out when it closed to become twyford Library, im looking early 1900's to 1908, when my great grandfather was there

From the National Archives, the boys school (and girls school) came under the control of the Berkshire County Council in 1903:
