Wood's Foundation School, third generation

This is the third school in the village, the original establishment dating back to 1736, founded by the Wood family. This was superseded by a new public school in 1878 which in turn was replaced by the current building in 1968. Throughout its history the school has had Church of England support in one form or another. The current building uses the CLASP modular system of construction developed by authorities in the East Midlands to be able to cope with mining subsidence.
