Discussions regarding the restructuring of education in Bardney began in the 1940s, with Bardney Methodist, Southrey Church of England, and Kitching’s Charity schools all due to be combined into one county school. By 1962 the reorganisation was still forthcoming, with only 166 pupils in the three schools combined, and by 1963 a plan had been formed for the creation of a joint C. of E./Methodist school rather than a county school. By the early 1980s the schools had been combined, with teaching of junior pupils taking place at the Methodist school buildings and teaching of the infants taking place at the Kitching’s Charity school buildings. Later in the decade all teaching moved to the current site. {2}{3}{4}{5}

White's 1856 Trade Directory states that the school was founded in 1711 by Thomas Kitching. {6}
