Cranborne School opened in 1953 and later became Salisbury Infants. The latter amalgamated with Gascoyne Cecil Junior School (opened 1950, closed 1 Sept 1999) to become Birchwood Avenue Primary School.
Have I got the names and dates correct?

That photo is not Cranborne school.
I remember the sandpit as having been full of water and I think the headmistress had a dog. I seem to recall it laying behind her desk on one occasion.
The site of Cranborne/Salisbury is now the Mid Herts Centre for Music and Arts
Many happy memories of Cranbourne. However the sandpit wasn’t full of sand in my day. In the summer it was used as a paddling pool. Only thing I hated was when we had beetroot & they made us eat it. Yuk still hate it today
I recall the sand pit with joy, also the bottle of milk at play time was a treat! Though locked doors to the outside world were victorian
Was a school, then became a teachers training college. My mum worked there during the 70’s
