Click on a photograph to view it.
The National School was built in 1867 to accommodate 80 children.
In the 1880s the master at Farley was a Mr Frogbrook. Farley was his first posting as a teacher. His assistant was Alfred William. In the early 20th century, the children were given a treat every year, irrespective of the result of the Inspector's report. There was usually a sit down tea and perhaps even a gift of farthings. By the 1880s standards had been changed and there was now considered to be enough accommodation for 90 children and the average attendance was around 80. This had dropped to around 60 in the 1890s, by which time Arthur T. Freeman was head teacher.
