Old School Lane leads down to the primary school though this is not the earliest school in Catcliffe. The school building facing onto Rotherham Road is first depicted on the 1903 OS map. The school expanded in the latter part of the 20th century. Prior to this the land was agricultural being comprised of enclosed strip fields. The strip fields were probably derived from the medieval open fields of Catcliffe. Legibility of the former landscape is invisible.
