School History
ST MARY'S SCHOOL & LAMMAS SCHOOL

The origins of St. Mary’s School began in the 17th century
when the need was found to provide local children with
regular education under the instruction of qualified teachers.


Only children of parents who could afford to pay received
the necessary teaching, whilst many had to rely on the clergy
to teach reading and writing.


By the middle 1600's the people of Sutton were becoming
ever conscious of the younger generation.


In 1659, Ann Mason included in her will a clause to finance
the teaching of the poorest men's children in Sutton, to
a standard whereby they could read the bible. She died
in 1669 and the school opened a year later.


The present building was built in 1845 and continued in use
until 1979 when as St. Mary's School moved to a new off
Huthwaite Road.


The vacated premises were then taken
over by The Lammas School, which opened as an
Independent Co-Educational Day School in 1981.
