Holy Cross was built in 1930 for the Daughters of the Cross as a convent. By 1931 they ran it as a residential open air school for delicate & sick children, & as a convalescent home. It was staffed by catholic nuns, & run by a Mother Superior. It closed down in 1939 & re-opened in 1947, still as a convalescent home. In 1962 it became a Secondary Modern Catholic School, but the proposed additional Infants School was turned down because of access from Dumpton Park Drive. The Catholic school finally closed in 2002, & re-opened as the re-located Hereson School from Ramsgate. (We are keeping an eye on the school fields & building speculators at present).
