Norton Road School
Norton Road School, 1910
In 1909, Letchworth's first school moved to new premises on Norton Road and became known as Norton Road School.
The new building was designed by Raymond Unwin. It was built in a quadrangle with a courtyard for open-air teaching and to allow lots of light and movement of air. These principles were later to become standard in school design but were very innovative at the time.
Norton Road School was closed in 2003, after spending its final year merged with Baldock’s Knights Templar School.
