Vange School opened in 1876 and is one of the oldest schools
in the Basildon area. An earlier school had once stood close by, on the site of the former zoo
in London Road.
The building was enlarged in the early 1900s from its original design, and again later when an
extension was added to the front of the building.
The original course of the A13 once ran
passed the school, until it was finally diverted in the early 1970s, when the Vange and Pitsea
bypass opened.
