Archive Creator	Newhall Central Board School; Boys, Girls and Council Schools, later William Allitt School
Administrative History	Newhall Central Board School was created in August 1895 from the combination of Newhall Oversetts and Newhall High Street Schools. The school was mixed until 1914 when separate Boys and Girls Council schools were formed. In 1939, the school became a Secondary Mixed School, moving to new premises in 1959 owing to sever mining subsidence damage to the original buildings. The school was renamed the William Allitt County Secondary School in 1959 and became a comprehensive in 1966. In September 2022, the school ceased to exist and was replaced by William Allitt Academy.
Custodial History	These records were deposited in Derbyshire Record Office in two accessions, on 27 August 1987 and 20 April 1994. Ownership passed to Derbyshire County Council when the school ceased to exist.
