Closed Schools

Over the years, a number of schools have closed in Amersham. At one time, Amersham had a number of private education establishments, many of which were very small. Most of these have now closed.

Raans School.

Opened in the 1950s as a mixed school, then a boys school following the opening of Brudenell school for girls, the school closed in the 1980s with the boys being transferred to Brudenell which was renamed The Amersham School.



Dave James writes "I have dug out an old (admittedly a bit blurred & battered - it might even encourage others to send in their (much better) pictures of the same) photo of Raans' School as taken from the opposite direction to my first picture. This one was taken only a few months after the school was opened for use. The picture was snapped by my sister from the entrance path in from Grove/Roundwood Roads, and the girls' playground area is in the right foreground (as I remember it in those days - I also recall that there was a cycle shed just to the right of where my sister took this picture from). I think I also remember, although I can't wholly be sure, that the side-block sticking out from the main building in the centre of the photo might have been the Art Classroom upstairs and Craft Room downstairs. I know that Mr. Penny ran the Art Classroom, and Mrs. Woollet (the Deputy Head) ran the craft room.

Any other memories or pictures of Raans welcome

Amersham College
Derek Taylor remembers Amersham College, a private co-ed school located approximately 150 yards from the junction with Green Lane on Woodside Road going towards Black Horse Bridge. It had about 100 students attended and the grounds went back to Mitchell Walk. Believed to have existed from the 1930s to the 1960s. Pete Wood remembers "When my Dad was called up on the 1st of September 1939, we moved to my mother's parents who lived at 47 Woodside Road (later re-numbered to 115). My mother thought that only the "rough" kids attended Blackhorse Bride School so I was enrolled at Amersham College. Mr. and Mrs. Holland ran the school and the 5 to 10 year olds were taught in a wooden hut classroom by Mrs. Holland, a rather bucksome but very loving North Country lady. I remember a cold Winter's day when the pipes had frozen so that we could not use the school toilets and the classroom was so cold that Mrs. Holland rubbed our hands to warm them enough that we could write our lessons. The playing field was a rough area that extended as far as Mitchell Walk, before that street was paved and houses were built." Gill Bilski adds "it was open until the mid? 60s. It was a boys' secondary school at that stage I think and was run by Mr. Gabb of Clifton Road. I vaguely remember boys wearing a black uniform. I would have been roughly 102-108 Woodside Road. I can't remember the building(s) at all though. After it closed in Woodside Road (they sold the land for houses), it moved to Little Hampden ... I think down the track beyond the Rising Sun. I think it closed in the 1980s." If anyone has any other details, we would be please to receive them. Either email the web master or post a message on the
