A new council school was built at Castle Donington in 1910 to replace the Wesleyan and Anglican day schools. The council was determined to build a school large enough for all the children at a cost of around £4000. And an impressive school it was! The new council school was completed in 1910, had the words ‘County Council Schools’ emblazoned across the front and had elaborately carved stone pediments over all the doors to the front and sides.
Please be mindful that this is a working primary school when taking pictures for your WM visit log.
