The school is first depicted on the 1985 OS map and probably replaced a school depicted earlier slightly to the west. Prior to this the area was used as allotments. On the 1796 pre-enclosure plan, the area is part of 'Wong Field'. This has been defined as 'an enclosed area within an open field' (Field 1972, 259) or ' a meadow' (Smith 1961, 190).The plan shows an enclosed area being farmed by the open strip method and was probably enclosed by the parliamentary enclosure award of 1800. Legibility of this is, however, zero.
