Penge – now a busy, bustling, lively part of South East London – hasn’t always been like that. In 1837, when the population had reached almost 200, a group of landowners and others decided that it needed its own place of worship. They built Penge Chapel which in time became a school. As Penge grew, so did the school.
In A School for Penge Revisited, Graham Reeves follows the story of that growth. He shows how the school was affected by such things as population growth, legislation, staffing levels, lack of space, inspections, and a developing understanding of children’s needs
He draws on a remarkable archive of logbooks, registers, minute books and documents carefully compiled and preserved over the years, together with the memories of many who have been associated with the school.
A School for Penge Revisited describes the various separate departments – Boys’ and Girls’, Boys’, Girls’, Higher Level, and Infants’ – and the people who worked and studied in them. The different departments are now united in St John’s Church of England Primary School which will benefit from all profits from the sale of the book.
The school continues to stand at the heart of Penge and builds on the commitment of those who came before, maintaining a long and worthy tradition of promoting the learning and well-being of local children.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Today, Penge is a thriving and vibrant part of South East London, but in 1837 it was little more than a small village of fewer than 200 people. Recognising the needs of their growing community, local residents established Penge Chapel, creating a place of worship that would later become the foundation of a remarkable educational institution.In A School for Penge Revisited, Graham Reeves traces the fascinating evolution of the school alongside the development of Penge itself. Drawing on an extraordinary collection of logbooks, registers, minute books and other archival records-carefully preserved over generations-he reveals how the school adapted to changing times, responding to population growth, educational reforms, staffing challenges, inspections, and an increasing understanding of children's learning and welfare.Enriched by the memories of former pupils, staff and members of the local community, this engaging history brings to life the people who taught and learned within the school's various departments, including the Boys', Girls', Higher Grade and Infants' schools. Their stories illuminate more than a century of educational and social change.Now united as St John's Church of England Primary School, the school remains at the heart of the community it has served for generations. A School for Penge Revisited is both a tribute to those who built its proud tradition and a celebration of the enduring role it continues to play in the lives of local children.All profits from the sale of this book will benefit St John's Church of England Primary School.
