Can't Find your School? . . . Read our tips.

• Some schools might be listed with The at the beginning of the name.
  e.g. Priory School might be listed as The Priory School ... and vice-versa.
  
  
• Some schools may or may not be listed prefixed with their place name:
  e.g. Northfields St Andrew's Primary School ...
  
  
• For Genealogists; Schools closed down or merged: Records of closed schools are held by the Local Education Authority for that area. Very old records will be stored in the Local Record Office.
  
  
• Schools which have changed their name can usually be found at the original address by doing a postcode search.
  
  
• School has no website or has closed down!
  The most certain way of getting in touch with your old school is to look it up on Friends Reunited. Not only will you find people from your old school, but probably your old class. This can work even for schools closed many years ago.
  
  
• Google: If all else fails Google may come up with some references to the school; but you would have started your search on Google anyway, wouldn't you.
