Description:The School House stood on Abbots Bromley Road, Hoar Cross, next door to the village school. It is now known as the Old School House and the school building as the Old School, both converted into dwellings in 1987.

By 1851 there was a school at Hoar Cross run by Ann Hulse. The schoolroom was enlarged in 1883 and was replaced by a new building in 1894, paid for by Mrs Meynell Ingram, with capacity for 120 children. The school closed in 1985 when pupils were transferred to the school at Newborough.
