Mortlake County Secondary Boys' School (formerly Mortlake Central Boys' School)

Administrative records for Mortlake County Secondary Boys' School and its predecessor school Mortlake Central Boys' School.

A boys' school was opened on Lower Richmond Road in 1909, and became a Central Boys' School for boys aged 11-14 in December 1920. The school ceased to be selective in 1945, and became Mortlake County Secondary Boys' School. The school closed in July 1969, and the boys joined the new Barnes County Secondary School (ref: S14) and Gainsborough Secondary Mixed School (ref: S11).

Mortlake Central Boys' School opened in December 1920 on the Lower Richmond Road. The school ceased to be selective in 1945, and became known as Mortlake County Secondary Boys' School, but the administrative functions of the earlier school continued. The records of the two schools are therefore been catalogued together. The school closed in 1969.
