The High School and Infants school consist of modern school buildings which are first shown on 1965 OS maps. The High School first opened in 1957 as a second site for the existing High School in Darton. The site was expanded in the 1970s after its redesignation as a comprehensive and a sixth form college attached. In the 1990s the schools in the area were reorganised with the closure of the original site in Darton and the movement of the sixth form to Barnsley College. (Wood 2006 [accessed 8/06/07]). The schools are built on an area of quite regular enclosures. These are likely to have been the enclosure of the medieval town fields. The regular form of these fields may indicate this occurred at a late date. There is partial legibility of the former enclosures as the school grounds fit well within the field boundaries.
