There were two or three schools at Casterton in the 1850's. One was the "School for the Daughter's of Clergymen", which had a superintendent, fourteen governesses, twelve domestic staff and about 100 scholars (ranging in age from 11-19). Next door to it was the 'Preparatory School' which had two superintendents, a teacher, two domestic servants and about 25 female scholars (aged 8-12). I assume this complex is what is now the Casterton Girls School. The other school in the 1850's at Casterton was the 'Servants School' with a superintendent, a housekeeper, four teachers and a laundress. As there was only one 'domestic servant', I assume the 110 female scholars (aged 6-18) did most of the domestic work! Three-quarters of the scholars were from Yorkshire, Lancashire and Westmorland, the remainder from other English counties, Ireland, Scotland and a few from overseas. As these girls were being 'trained' as servants, they certainly wouldn't have been working for the local farmers, so I would imagine that the school provided servants mainly to the clergy, as judging from the many years that I've spent searching Census records, the local clergy always seemed to have been amply supplied with a number of live-in servants!
