The Head of Lacey Green School was required to keep a daily log book. The weather was frequently reported as follows :-

7 January 1920.   Pumps frozen, unable to get water.

20 January 1922. Dismissed school ten minutes earlier each afternoon this week, as most of the children have a long way to go and darkness sets in very early now.

25 January 1922. Owing to the slippery state of the roads only 45 were present this morning.   The roads are like a sheet of glass.

12 January 1925. The stove is now in use and appears to be very satisfactory.   The temperature is raised considerable, enabling the work to be carried on in the cold weather under improved conditions.
