iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).The original Water Orton Primary School was opened in 1878 and catered for children up to the age of fourteen. It comprised of two large schoolrooms adjoined by a Headteacher's residence. The two school rooms were built to house 106 children. Many changes have occurred since 1878.
In 1980, as a result of County re-organisation, the school became separate First and Middle schools catering for pupils aged 4 to 8 and 8 to 12 respectively. The First School continued to occupy the original school site and the Middle School moved into a purpose-built unit on an adjoining site.
In 1992 the First School had extensive building carried out, including the addition of a new hall.
