The site of Mogerhanger School in 1901

In 1903, following the Education Act of 1902, Bedfordshire County Council became Local Education Authority for the county. In order to take stock of its buildings it sent surveyors to every school to produce reports, which the CountySurveyor presented to the council in 1904. The report for Mogerhanger reads as follows:

This is an old brick and tile building.

Main Room, - 30 feet 3 inches by 17 feet by 14 feet and 2 ft 6 inches to Collar Beam.

This room is well lighted, but needs better ventilation, repairs, and renewal. It is warmed by a Tortoise Stove. Ceiling and wall vents are provided. Provide an Exhaust Ventilator.
