This primary school is first depicted on the 1982 OS map. Prior to this, the area was agricultural. The 1st edition OS map of 1854 depicts a small area of fields with regular and straight boundaries. It is labelled as 'The Green'. This suggests that the area probably once comprised the village green or common but was enclosed by the Armthorpe parliamentary enclosure award in 1774. Legibility of this former character is, however, invisible.
