Administrative history
The School was a combined Infant and Junior School which opened on 4 April 1932. In April 1957 a separate Infant School was opened on the same site. The school federated, as Kensington Avenue Primary School, in 2005.
Pupils were evacuated to Hove on 4 Sept 1939, attending East Hove Junior School, Ellen Avenue. The school re-opened full-time in Croydon on 25 May 1940. On 17 June 1940 a party was evacuated to Holsworthy (Devon) and by 12 August the Hove party had been moved to the greater safety of Holmsbury St Mary (Surrey).
