| Description | Admin History:
Once the school was built, the cost of its maintenance and that of the pupils was provided for from the £40,000 assigned from Thomas Henshaw's will and the accumulated interest. This money was invested in the best possible way since, from the resulting dividends, all school expenses had to be met including staff wages, clothes and food for the pupils, school equipment, etc. In addition to this, the school raised money for certain activities, such as the annual camp and several bequests were also made in its favour.
