This
landmark at the foot of Sandgate Hill was built in Kentish ragstone
in 1866. Lord Radnor provided the land and James Morris of Encombe
the funds for building.
Kent Education Committee took over the main premises in 1945 and the school became the Sandgate (Church of England) Controlled Primary School. The premises were vacated in 1972 when the new Sandgate Primary School was built in Coolinge Lane. Some of the weather-boarded cottages opposite the school, in the main road, were built in the 1770's by a Mr. Wilson for his workmen employed in boat building.
