The first school in Ashtead was established by the Howard family in 1815 and was located close to the [[almshouse]]s in Park Lane. On opening it catered for around 60 children, but numbers had grown to around 100 by 1850.<ref name=Stuttard_1995_pp179-181>{{harvnb|Stuttard|1995|pp=179–181}}</ref> St Giles' Infant School was established in 1852 by Mary Howard to replace the Park Lane school. Originally boys and girls were taught separately, but the two halves were amalgamated in 1900. By 1904 there were 317 children enrolled.<ref name=Stuttard_1995_pp179-181/>
