My grandkids go to school in Nottingham in a building designed in the 1870s, as did I in Manchester (1950s), and most of neighbourhood in Medway (2020s). They were either built as separate infant schools (5-7} and junior schools (7-11), or <b>combined infant junior primary schools</b>. In the interim, schools have been reorganised through first/middle/upper and back again, but still on the stonework we see carved Infant School, Junior School.
