Archive CreatorStarkholmes Church of England (Controlled) School
Administrative HistoryStarkholmes CE School was erected in 1878 but records only survive from the 1940s. The school provided education to mixed infants and juniors. It closed in 1991 and was amalgamated with Matlock Town CE Primary to form Matlock St. Giles School in July 1994.

Mrs Blanche Holmes was head teacher at the school from 1947 to 1968. Following her death in 2001 her daughter advertised in the Matlock local press asking former pupils to contact her to share their memories of attending Starkholmes Infant School. The following records are the result of this research.
Custodial HistoryThese records were donated to Derbyshire Record Office in May 2010

Archivist NoteUntil March 2016, this collection was entitled Starkholmes Infants School as the items related to the Infants department. However, the school itself was a single school with infants and juniors departments (BS, 10/03/2016)
