Skellow Schools
This was opened in 1913 as a temporary school for infants and mixed juniors, taking children from Skellow and nearby hamlets.
The site was near the top of Green Lane, (about a hundred yards/metres East of the A1M, at Grid Ref. SE520111).
This Location was quite a long walk for younger children. It closed in 1934 and the children were transferred to Skellow and Carcroft Council Schools.
Skellow Primary School
The school on Lodge Road was opened in 1927 to accommodate the children of miners coming into new housing in the area.
During the 1940'and 1950's, infants occupied one half of the building and seniors the other; juniors were sent to boys and girls departments at Carcroft School.
It now takes pupils from entry to eleven years.
