Two good examples of Hertfordshire County Council’s influential post-war school-building programme under C. H. Aslin and Stirrat Johnson-Marshall. An influx of school-age children and lack of facilities from 1945 meant Herts CC had to be creative with its school designs. They employed the Hills 8' 3" prefab system, allowing schools to be quickly built and flexibly planned, as well as being set on generous plots of land. They employed young, energetic architects like Oliver Cox and David and Mary Medd who designed Brookside Primary (now Monkfrith), as well as firms such as the Architects Co-Partnership who designed Oaklands (now Dane- grove).
