EDUCATION.
In the early 16th century the chantry-priest of Frampton taught the children, (fn. 1) and a tenement that had belonged to the chantry was still called the school-house in 1570. (fn. 2) Two schoolmasters living in Frampton in 1798 (fn. 3) presumably taught private schools: there were boarding schools in the village in 1819 (fn. 4) and until 1897. (fn. 5) No day-school, only a Sunday school with c. 50 children, was recorded in 1818, (fn. 6) but a day-school with as many children was established by 1825. (fn. 7) Including boarding schools, Frampton had eight day-schools in 1833, but they were all run at the parents' expense; they had a combined total of 103 children, compared with 175 children attending two Sunday schools, one C. of E. and the other, slightly larger, Independent. (fn. 8) A National school, with separate departments for boys and girls, was built in 1842 (fn. 9) and in 1847 had a combined daily attendance of 89. (fn. 10) In 1869 an evening class was also held there. (fn. 11) Attendance at the day-school remained at just under 100 until the 1930s; (fn. 12) in 1968, when the older children went to schools in Stroud and Quedgeley, the Frampton on Severn C. of E. Primary school had 134 children. The building of 1842 is single-storied and of brick; a new timber classroom was added in 1960. (fn. 13) The Independent Sunday school, started in 1816, developed into a British day-school apparently in 1849, when the schoolroom beside the Congregational church was opened. (fn. 14) The British school appears to have closed as a day-school in the seventies, (fn. 15) but the building remained in occasional use in 1968.
