These three books contain the Minutes of the Managers Meetings and give a general idea of the adminstration of the school behind the scenes. Staffing was a major topic with teachers coming and going. There were no meetings held during the 1914 - 18 war, whereas the war years of 1939 - 45 there is discussion of 'Evacuees,' children being sent from the dangers of London to the relative safety of rural Shrivenham.
