Description:Built in 1895. The first headmaster was John Wheeldon, who first came to Stafford in 1880 as Headmaster of the British School in Earl Street. In 1895 he became the first Headmaster of Corporation Street Board School and in 1909 when Corporation Street School was reorganised, he became the Headmaster of the boys' department. In his spare time, Mr Wheeldon taught Science classes at the Mechanics institute. He was also the founder and first president of the Stafford and District Association of the National Union of Teachers (N.U.T) and, in 1918, he was made Justice of the Peace.
In 1909 the building was extended to form separate boys', girls' and infants' schools, but the latter two were rebuilt in the 1960s when it was discovered that brine pumping in the area had led to subsidence.
