There has been a school on this site since 1950, when Morgans Walk JMI School was opened. It was the first new school to be built in Hertford and attracted much interest. In 1998 the school was designated a listed building. The school is named after the Morgan family, who originally owned the house known as Brickendonbury, and planted lime trees from the centre of Hertford to their house. The house is now owned by the Malaysian Rubber Company.
The Mandeville housing estate was built in the 1960s. Chalk Dell Infant School was built on the Morgans site, and opened in 1965 to meet the need for additional school places.
As changes in educational management developed and the demands of the National Curriculum became apparent at the end of the 1980s, it was essential that the two schools worked together closely. The two schools amalgamated in January 1993, upon the retirement of the head of Morgans Walk JMI School, when Mrs Lucy Connolly, headteacher of Chalk Dell Infants School, was appointed headteacher of the newly amalgamated school. Mrs Connolly left Morgans in July 2002, to become a County Early Years adviser. Mrs Sue Dutt started her headship in September 2002. The school is now know as Morgans Primary School and Nursery. |
