This primary school is first depicted on the 1982 OS map. Prior to this, the area was agricultural. The 1st edition OS map depicts a series of thin strip fields which are cut through by Tranmoor Lane, suggesting they predate the road. The area is also labelled 'South Field', a probable former open town field. The strip fields resulted from consolidation of the furlongs of the open field over time. Legibility of the former character is, however, invisible.
