The old school building with teachers' houses sits at the bottom of the bank. The school building was divided into three sections: what is now School House was the teacher's residence; what is now Southlands was the school; the corner property, now Laurel Cottage, was the home of the Headmaster, who was also the village registrar. Today most of the children of primary school age attend St Hilda's or St Benedict's schools in Ampleforth village, and when they are eleven they move on to Ryedale Comprehensive School at Nawton/Beadlam.
