Arrangement:
Barnes Central Boys' School opened in January 1921 at Lonsdale Road, Barnes. Barnes Central School for Girls (ref: S13) moved to the same site in January 1931, but each school had its own staff and administration, and separate accommodation on the same site, so the records of the Boys' and Girls' Schools have been catalogued separately. When Barnes Central Boys' School ceased to be selective in 1945, and became known as Barnes County Secondary Boys' School, the administrative functions continued, with the records of Barnes Central Boys' School remaining in use. The records of Barnes County Secondary Boys' School and Barnes Central Boys' School have therefore been catalogued together. When the school closed in July 1967, all the administrative functions of the single sex boys' school ceased, so the new mixed school which opened in September 1967, Barnes County Secondary School, has been catalogued separately (ref: S14).
