Description:The Church School in Penkhull stood at the top of Trentham Road (now Trent Valley Road), just south of the church. It was known as St Thomas's School in the 1880s. Originally opened as a mixed National School in 1844, it became Penkhull Mixed Infant's School in 1876. The building has undergone several enlargements: this is the south side. Latterly the building has been used as Penkhull Village Hall. The houses alongside the school date from the 1930s.
