Scope and Content

Administrative records for St Luke's Church of England Junior and Infant School and its predecessor schools.

Administrative / Biographical History

St John's Sandy Lane School opened in Sandycombe Road, Kew, in around 1878, and was known as St Luke's National School by 1885. By 1904 it was known as St Luke's Day Schools, by 1923 as St Luke's Mixed School, and by 1963 as St Luke's Church of England Junior and Infants School. The school closed on 25 July 1980. The building survives as St Luke's House Education Centre.

Arrangement

Local Studies only holds 5 volumes of records for St Luke's Church of England Junior and Infant Schools for its 102 year history. However, the records that we do hold cover the periods when the school changes its name, and there was no change in administration or function during these times; despite the name changes, then, all the records of the school have been catalogued together.

The St Luke's Church of England Junior and Infant School Collection is arranged into 3 series records:

  • S16/1 Log Books, 1878-1980
  • S16/2 Punishment Books, 1923-1967
  • S16/3 Minute Books, 1913-1938
