A school had been in Drayton since 1800 though it seemingly was never affiliated to The National Society. The school was rebuilt between the 1870s and 1890s. In 1932 Lord North, the owner of the school, died. The School Managers fought to keep the school open and in 1941 Trinity College bought the site. The school was closed 1948 and pupils were transferred to North Newington School. Please see CC4/72 for other records of this school.
These records were transferred from the Oxfordshire Education Department to the Oxfordshire History Centre and also deposited as part of Acc 3937 in February 1995. Recatalogued by Alison Smith in November 2013 with additions in August 2015.
