Grade II Listed school and school house of 1851. According to its website the school "came into being" in April 1878 and has had only 7 permanent Head Teachers up to early 2021. White's Directory of Lincolnshire 1856 states "The school was built in 1851, by subscription". However Kelly's Directory of Lincolnshire 1919 states "Public Elementary School (mixed), built in 1878, at a cost of £1,700, for 100 children; Job Bird, master". In 1947 the school leaving age was raised to 15 necessitating the first extension of the accommodation with the provision of a temporary classroom and the then village hall was also in regular use. A new school was mooted in 1970 but it was not until extensions in the 1980s that the hall, for both school and community use, was provided.
