Southend School Log Book 1st October 1877 New Infant School opened in the middle of the village under the management of the National School Committee with Miss Fisk as mistress.  I hear that 43 children have been admitted today.

The school was off Coffee Tavern Lane at Rectory Road end. Canon Barker often taught in the school. Miss E Thomson and Miss Ada Glover from Marston near Grantham were teachers, with Mrs Margaret Wagstaff as Head Teacher.

The pupils transferred to the new Board School in Alfred Street.
