Description:Situated in Abbots Bromley Road, Hoar Cross, this postcard photograph shows the school within its school yard in front, with the adjacent school house beyond.

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. The schoolroom and school house were converted into private houses in 1987.
