Old School
Church Lane
This was one of the first primary schools in Kent. It was built on land left by Mrs Sarah Children in February 1820 and was funded by public subscription. The original building consisted of four classrooms and a two-storey house for the headmaster.
After the school moved to a new site in Fairfield Road in 1973 the building was used for a while as a community centre but was later abandoned. It was recently restored with the aid of a Lottery grant by the New Romney Old School Trust. In May 2000 South Kent College moved into the refurbished building.
The school's most famous ex-pupil is Peter Imbert, now Lord Imbert of New Romney, former Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police.
