There is a newspaper item in 1935 talking about schools in the Wokingham and Twyford Woodley area:

"... Mr. Peake (chairman of the sub-committee) said that all the schools in this area were Church schools and they were inviting the diocesan authorities to consider whether they could provide a Church senior school in each or either of the districts conderned. ..."

I remember doing some research about the Polehampton Schools a  while ago - just did a search on here and realised it was for you!
