At first there was an evening school for boys in the British Girls' School. The boys' school was opened in 1836 after the receipt of a state building grant in 1834. The school served the nonconformists of the town but was closed at short notice in 1893 in the mistaken belief that a school board was about to be formed in Devizes. The children were accommodated in the Town Schools or educated in the parish rooms.
