Reference: 5 February 1924
The School of Arts was officially opened on Anniversary Day 1924. The occasion was marked by a successful day of sports. The total takings for the day amounted to over £93, which provided sufficient funds to pay off the outstanding debt (Windsor and Richmond Gazette, 5 February 1924). The School of Arts Committee continued their fund raising efforts and apart from the annual sports day also held concerts and dances. Funds were raised for the continuing maintenance of the building and for the provision of a piano, stage and supper room. The stage was added and a piano purchased in 1925, the supper-room being added in 1926. This was a remarkable effort considering the building had only been opened in 1924.
