By 1864 there was a Surrey Congregational Union Chapel on the site of the present school. It was then in use as a school room. The Croydon School Board took over the building on 1 August 1871 and it was used as a girls' and infants' school until 1873 when the infants moved to a separate room. This is Croydon's oldest Board School by 14 days. Administrative papers: 1871 - 1890, CBC/3/2/11; 1891 - 1903, CBC/3/2/12; 1903 - 1924, CBC/3/2/13; 1924 - 1945, CBC/3/2/14.

Croydon Parish: Vestry Records

The Vestry was the governing body of the parish, largely concerned with civil (non-ecclesiastical) matters. It comprised an assembly of all male ratepayers. The `Select Vestry' (technically a Parish Committee) was a smaller and more manageable committee of 5-20 householders, which dealt with matters relating to the poor. It was established at the Vestry meeting of 9 June 1819, under powers granted by the Sturges Bourne Act 1819, 'for the care and management of the concern of the poor'.
