Abstract:		 An historic building survey was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) of the former Oxford Street School, located on Oxford Street, Leicester on the 13th of May 2013. The former school building was designed by the architect W. Jackson of Loseby Lane, Leicester and was built in 1873 for the Leicester School Board, as a consequence of the Education Act of 1870. The school opened in 1874 as a mixed primary school, but by 1919, following the opening of the City of Leicester Boys' School, was converted into an all-girls' secondary school and renamed the Newarke Secondary School for Girls. The single-storey structure which faces onto Oxford Street was constructed as an art room for the school in 1927. In 1939 the school was relocated to new premises on Fosse Road South and the former school buildings were subsequently taken over by the Education Department of the Leicester College of Art and Technology. More recently the buildings have been known as part of the Elfed Thomas building, formerly used by the De Montfort University Law School. The former school buildings are now proposed for demolition, to make way for new student accommodation. The report and archive will be deposited with Leicester City Museums under Accession Number A7.2013.
