In 1859 older children from the hamlet
of Clack attended the school at Lyneham, while the
younger children were taught by a young woman in a
cottage. A few children went to a school at Christian
Malford.
Then in 1860 a National School was built in the hamlet
and in 1875 some of the income from the Broome charity
was allotted to the school. This particular school
stood opposite the church of St Mary. However, school
charity funds were only applied to Bradenstoke once
in 1889. In 1899 it was decided that when the cost
of building Lyneham School had been discharged, ¾ of
the income of the Broome charity was to apply to Lyneham
while the last ¼ was to be known as Broome’s
Bradenstoke charity.
After 1902 the school was taken over by Wiltshire County
Council by the Education Act of 1902 and further information
will be found under Bradenstoke C.E. Controlled Primary
School
