Salisbury Road Primary School

The school building was designed by Henry John Snell (1843–1924), who was responsible for a number of Plymouth's 19th century buildings.^[1] It was officially opened by Sir George Kekewich on 27 April 1903.^[1] The school had capacity for 512 infants, 480 girls and 430 boys.^[1] During the First World War, the building was requisitioned by the War Office to create the 4th Southern General Hospital, a facility for the Royal Army Medical Corps to treat military casualties.^[2]

The girls school closed in the 1980s^[3] and the infants school amalgamated with the junior school to create the current primary school in 2008.^[4]

Previously a community school administered by Plymouth City Council, in November 2016 Salisbury Road Primary School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the Learning Academies Trust.^[5]
