School built in 1964. Four classes moved into the new school from Rutter's School (HER11410) while the infant classes remained in the old building. The 19th century school was demolished in 1973 when the kitchen, hall and additional classroom had been added to the 1960s building. During the 1980s/90s additional classrooms were added on the south east corner of the building and main school hall was exteneded. The school closed in July 2014. Now demolished.
