History
Northwold Primary School on Northwold Road, Hackney, was opened in 1902 as Northwold Road School. At first it was a mixed boarding school for for 366 seniors, 306 juniors and 306 infants. The school was reorganised in 1923 to provide space for 440 boys, 440 girls and 480 infants. Separate secondary and primary schools were established by 1949, when both were renamed Northwold School. The secondary school closed by 1955, but the primary school still occupies the same building.
