User:Lao-ke/Cressey's School

Cressey's School was founded by a Ms. Cresswell and was located in Allendale Road, Burnham-on-Sea in Somerset, England. Nothing is currently known about its origins, however the school was active in the early 1950s and closed when Ms. Cresswell retired around 1960.

The school was called a kindergarten, but differed from later models of the genre by catering for children up to 7 years of age and preparing them for entry into [Preparatory school (UK)|"prep" school] through formal classes covering Reading, Writing and Arithmatic as well as Geography and Music.

The school had two classes each with its own teacher, Ms Cresswell taking the smaller children and Ms. Kurl the older ones. Each class held 15 to 20 children, limiting the school's size to no more than 40 children.
