Old maps show a smaller school building here by 1889 when the area was still a mosaic of piecemeal residential development and small fields. Houses on the south side of Little Green Lanes would have looked out over farmland. By 1914 there were two schools with a few houses opposite. By 1937 the whole area to the north was solidly residential. By 1963 the two schools had been connected to form one County Primary School.
