School that is first mapped in 1903. Built on part of Darfield Ings. The placename 'Ings' can refer to meadow or pasture (Field 1972, 113). The land along the river Dearne is liable to flooding and has been drained in modern periods; it would have been good land for meadow, which was valuable in the medieval period (Rackham 1986, 334-339). The date of enclosure is uncertain. There is no legibility of the former land use. The school has been substantially extended.
