Opened as a British school in 1832 and in 1907 the name was changed to Adcroft Boy's School. Transferred to Wiltshire County Council, in 1908, who built the Adcroft Council School in 1913 at the top of Timbrell Street. It became a senior boys' school in 1931 and in 1940 pupils were transferred to the new secondary modern school.Buildings in Prospect Place were later used as a school of building and later later still as a teacher's centre.
