## History

[edit]

The school was called Wath Park Road Council School in the 1930s.[1]

The school merged into Wath Grammar School in January 1964.[2] Park Road's old building become Wath's second site. Initially, it continued to be used as the basic wing of the school for former secondary modern students. It was then used as Wath's first form (later Year 7) wing until it was demolished in 2005.
