The schools provided free education for children of Risley, Breaston, Sandiacre, Dale Abbey, Stanton-by-Dale, Wilsthorpe, Draycott, Little Wilden and Hopwell. [3]
One of its most famous pupils was Robert Lowe, 1st Viscount Sherbrooke, later Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Between 1850 and 1860 there were up to 14 boys being educated at the Latin School
In 1861 the schools in Risley were inspected by F.O. Martin Esq of Her Majesty's Inspectors of Charities [4] into charges of insobriety and neglect of duty on the part of the Under-master Mr Creswell, and also into the general administration of the charities. As a result of this enquiry, the school was remodelled in 1868 as a preparatory school of the first grade for boys intended for Eton, Winchester and the public schools [5] and the Lower School was separated off as a wholly distinct foundation, operating as a Middle Class School. The fees to attend the Latin School at this time were £50 and £70 per annum per pupil.
The building survived as a school until 1914 when it became a private house.
By 1966 the property was empty and was badly vandalised in that year. In 1970 a restoration project estimated at £10,000 (equivalent to £195,400in 2023) [6] was begun. [7]
