Senior Mixed School, Netheravon

Netheravon and Fittleton schools were reorganised in 1926. After months of confusion in the village Netheravon school reopened as a senior mixed school in September, under a new head teacher, Arthur Hart. The school took children aged from 11 to 14 years, or to 15 years from 1947, from Netheravon, Fittleton and Haxton. The younger children from the three villages attended junior school at Fittleton. Of the four classes only the senior group contained more than one standard and the children benefitted greatly from this over their five year course. Attendance was 119 in 1927 and this was little changed in 1938 when there were 124 on the school register. In the 1940s it became a voluntary aided school but by 1955 had only 56 pupils as some were going to the secondary school at Durrington. Later the school closed and local children aged over 11 attended Durrington Secondary School. In 1964 the building became an infants' school for Netheravon and Fittleton children.
