The Sawley (Tamworth) Road School (later Brooklands School) opened in August 1893, and consisted of a mixed department (boys and girls) and also an infants department. At one time, this school was termed as a "higher grade school" as the older scholars were drawn from other schools in the town to attend the Sawley Road School for the purpose of receiving advance instruction.
