Description: | Fareham County Primary School on Wickham Road began as the Fareham Board School for Girls and Infants on 2 July 1877 with 13 infants with headmistress Miss Mary Rich and 16 girls under Miss Jane Bailey. By 1890, the numbers had increased to 347 infants and girls. The pupils were the children of bricklayers, tanners, corn factors and potters and whose parents paid two pence a week for each child. Even this sum was difficult for many parents in low paid, often seasonal, jobs to pay. The main source of finance for the school was, however, government capitation grants paid to the head teachers on the results of tests in reading, writing and arithmetic.
