Jewish emigration from Germany was banned in 1941. The school returned to Bunce Court in 1946. Meanwhile at Trench Hall...1949 to 1990 it was a boarding school (Trench Hall School) A day school 1990-2003. In 2003 it became The Woodlands Centre / Woodlands School.

In this approximate area is a site known as Trench Hall Castle Stead, rumoured to be a Roman Fort. Remains found however are medieval / Tudor, and "Castle" may be a corruption of "Cattle". Now well ploughed and no remains on surface. Also referred to as "Trench Castlegate". Possible location of a post-medieval house.
