HISTORICAL NOTE: commemorative tablet in gable records that the school was built in memory of Abel Smith of Woodhall Park (1788-1859), who had served Hertford as MP. The school took the girls from the overcrowded Cowper School built 1841 on the London Road. The design of the school shows the influence of model school plans of the period, notably the work of Butterfield published in 1852 in 'Instrumenta Ecclesia'.
