In 1832 Day School was held by Mr. and Mrs. Hall in a house near the Dog and Gun public house. About 80 children attended and there were 100 in Sunday School.
The first schoolroom was built by the Rector, Mr. Arkwright, in 1835 at his own expense. Later in 1835 a new schoolroom and school house were provided at a cost of £1,000 and in 1859 the Infant School was added at a cost of £500.
