 Jericho Echo
When the 1870 Education Act came into force the schools remained church property and the buildings were maintained by the parishes but by the 1920s the buildings were in need of extensive repair to meet the rising standard of the curriculum.

When the old buildings were finally abandoned and the school moved to its present site, the buildings were sold to the Council only on condition that the land should be used to rehouse Jericho residents dispossessed by the urban renewal and a number of lucrative commercial offers were rejected.
