New Brighton Secondary Modern School was a secondary school in New Brighton, Cheshire which flourished between 1044 and 1971.

History

The school formed part of the Tripartite System of education. The 1944 Butler Education Act created a system in which children were tested and streamed at the age of eleven. Pupils were allocated to their respective types of school according to their performance in the eleven plus, a pass resulted in a grammar school or technical school education and a failure in a secondary modern school education ^[1]. The original school was built in 1908 and housed a separate infant, junior, senior boys and senior girls schools.

1950s and 60s

During this period the school consisted of Vaughan Road Infants School & Vaughan Road Junior School, both located on the ground floor. The upper floor housed New Brighton Secondary Modern. Two other buildings where used by the school for practical education woodwork, metalwork and domestic science. Located in Field Road and Laburnum Road. Sports activities where carried out at Withen's Lane, together with weekly swimming lessons at the Guinea Gap Baths.

1970's to present day

In 1971 the junior and infant children were brought together as a single school with one head teacher, and re-named New Brighton Primary School^[2].
