The newly built Woodnewton Infants School stands close to Rowlett Road, with the trees of Thoroughsale Woods in the background. This was one of many new primary schools that were to spring up as the town expanded. Many ancillary buildings have since been added to the school.

I remember warm summer afternoons spent sitting under a large tree while the teacher read to us. I think the headmistress was called Miss Goodchild(?), she had a small dog she used to bring to school, we had to go and read to her periodically, she was quite scary so I used to take a present for the dog to try and please her. My teachers at the junior school were Mrs Pugh, Mr Mee and Miss Taylor - happy days.
