Holy Innocents Primary

The Holy Innocents’ Primary School is situated in the picturesque rural area of Welchman Hall, St. Thomas. From the middle of the 19th Century there were educational facilities in the districts now served by Holy Innocents’ Primary. Four small schools, The Bridgefield Infants, The Sturges Infants, The Hopewell Combined and the Holy Innocents’ Mixed collectively served the educational needs of the pupils in the communities.

In 1895, a reorganization of the schools saw Ms. Florence Springer becoming Headteacher of Sturges Girls School and Mr. Joseph Hamlet, the Headteacher of the Holy Innocents’ Boys.

On 15 th October 1956 the current building was named the Holy Innocents’ Mixed School, with Mr. Lester Vaughan as the Headteacher. The school was further renamed Holy Innocents’ Composite in the 1980’s. This name was carried until September 1995. In this year the senior students from classes 5 to 8 were transferred to the Alma Parris School. The school was then given its present name Holy Innocents’ Primary. It now caters to the educational needs of students from ages three to eleven.
