Chase High School – Term Dates

In 1913, Westborough School opened in MacDonald Avenue, Westcliff-on-Sea with Infants, Senior Boys and Senior Girls departments. Sixteen years later, Southend Borough Council opened the Junior Day Department at Fairfax Drive which specialised in technical and commercial subjects, but in 1934 it was moved to the Municipal College site at Victoria Circus and Fairfax Senior Mixed School was opened at the site. During the war, Westborough School was evacuated to Chapel-en-le-Frith in Derbyshire, while Fairfax Senior Mixed School was evacuated to Swadlincote in Derbyshire.
