| Administrative History | Footdee Public School was transferred to the management of Aberdeen School Board in 1874, and its name was changed to St Clement Street School. A new school on the site of the old St Clement Street School was completed at a cost of £7500 in 1906. Children were admitted from 26 February and it was formally opened on 17 March 1906. The new school had places for 600 pupils - 195 infants and 405 junior and senior scholars. It housed 8 classrooms, a cookery room and scullery, a manual instruction room and a library. St Clement Street School was amalgamated with York Street School in 1923; thereafter until 1939 the York Street premises were used by the St Clement Street Infant Department. The school closed in December 1958 and the pupils were transferred to Hanover Street School. |
