School built at he same time as adjacent social housing (HSY7139). Built on area of surveyed enclosure of the Bolton upon Dearne town field. Probably enclosed as part of the 1761 enclosure award (date from English 1985). There is fragmentary legibility of the former enclosures in the boundaries around the school grounds. The historic road names, Carr Head Lane and Carr Field Lane, indicate that the land was probably quite wet.
