History
At the end of the second world war, Chenies School was the only school catering for all the new build housing that had taken place in Chorleywood and Little Chalfont. There was, in addition, a great shortage of places on the Hertfordshire side of Chorleywood,
Buckinghamshire, together with Hertfordshire, decided that the best place to build a new school to provide for children in Little Chalfont and Chorleywood was in the Buckinghamshire part of Chorleywood.
The school was officially opened on 1st July 1953. Because of the long association of the area with the Dukes of Bedford, the school was named the Russell County Primary School after their family name.
