I am lead to believe that my great grandmother, was ordered to send my grandfather and one of his siblings to the Board school, Plump Hill, early 1900's. Is there any records of the children that attended and any other information about this school.
Thanks, Linda

Admin History Plump Hill Board School opened in 1878. It became a council school after the Education Act 1902, and a county primary school after the Education Act 1944. The school closed in July 1984 and the buildings were then used as the Plump Hill Annexe to the Royal Forest of Dean Centre for Environmental Studies at the Wilderness; this closed in 2011, and the buildings were reopened as the Oakraven Field Centre in 2014

There is an old link from 'Slowhands' etc - 24 April 2012
Plump Hill School is, I believe, in Jubilee Road, off Plump Hill, which is now an environmental education centre....
Pump Hill Centre Plump Hill School was opened by the school board in 1878 with 151 places in junior mixed and infants' departments which merged in 1883. More classrooms were added in 1890. The school was closed in 1984, the children being transferrred to schools in Mitcheldean, Littledean, and Westbury-on-Severn. The building was used as an environemental centre.

Hi, My mother's first proper job was teaching at the Plump school - that would have been around 1927 when she was 16 or so. She had to leave when she married my dad in 1932, as married women weren't allowed to work in that sort of job at the time. I'm not sure how she got there from Ruardean. Caught the Gloucester bus through Drybrook, got off at the top of the Stenders and walked through the woods, perhaps.
Cheers
