Hotham Road School in Putney opened on 2nd June 1909, and was initially run by the London County Council. Many of the pupils were transfered from the Deodar Road School, which closed that year. In 1948 the name changed to Hotham School, and subsequently to Hotham Primary School. It is currently run by the London Borough of Wandsworth. In 1910 the Putney Evening School was established in the same building as Hotham School. This organisation was later known as Putney Evening Institute, and Hotham Adult Education Centre. It formed part of the Putney Adult Education Institute, which later became the Putney and Wandsworth Adult Education Institute and was incorporated into the Inner London Education Authority (ILEA). In 1985 John Payne, Head of Adult Education at Hotham School, founded the Hotham School Social History Group. This group, with the help of past and present students and staff from the school and the adult centre, organised several events to celebrate the school's 80th anniversary in 1989, and also produced a number of publications about the history of the school. When the ILEA was dissolved in 1990, adult education ceased at Hotham.
