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.
