Historic Interest

Built in 1813-14 upon land given by T E Dicey in exchange for the site of a former school at a cost of £150 by the Marc Smith charitable trust. Extended in 1873 (at a cost of £210), 1911, 1925, 1936 and 1955. This is an early charity endowed school which has been at the heart of the village for over 200 years.

Originally boys only, with additional facilities added in 1873 to allow girls to attend - including a high wall across the playground (demolished in 1953).

The uniform in 1837 consisted of green coats with red collars, green waistcoats and cord trousers – the children being known as "greencoats".
