The Dudley Ryder School formally known as Sandon School was founded in 1824 by Lord Harrowby & opened in 1825. Originally there were two class rooms one for boys & one for girls and there was around 100 pupils in attendance with the headmasters house in between the girls & boys classrooms.

Rules laid down in 1843 state that attendance should be days per week from 9:30am to 4pm but not on Saturdays.
Sunday school was 9:30am & at 2pm, both of which HAD to be attended.

In 1895 the building was enlarged. The School was also open in the evenings ( 1848/1849) so that any railway worker who wished to lean to read & write may do so while building the nearby railway.
Due to falling pupil numbers & government cutbacks the school was closed in July 1981 & the remaining 17 pupils went to near by Weston & Milwich schools. The building appears to have being lived after the school had closed, but has since become boarded up and disused.

Bit of a lame report but thats about it really, I did a quick solo visit here after a morning out with @HughieD not the most exciting place but worth a look.

That school is lovely. Got so much character. It looks like one of them places that looks smaller on the outside than it is inside. Great report.
