Full Description
The building is light-brick and looks to be late Victorian. However, it has been modified considerably and there has been the addition of a number of extensions and a 20th Century porch. There are also a number of prefabricated buildings adjacent to the school which obscure the view. It is unknown how much of the original 1822 shell survives. {1}
A school is present here on both the 1906 map and the 1887 map. {2}{3}
In White's 1856 Directory of Lincolnshire, a Jane Holtby is listed as being the schoolmistress in nearby Kirkby, but there is no reference to a school in Osgodby itself. {4}
A document in the Lincolnshire Archives states that the school was built as a National School in 1822. It was later administered by the Kirkby-cum-Osgodby School Board, formed in 1876, as the Kirkby-cum-Osgodby Board School, and enlarged in 1894. The school became the Kirkby-cum-Osgodby Council School in 1903. After 1936 and by 1939 the name was changed to the Osgodby Council School. It became Osgodby County School, in about 1947, and was known as Osgodby County Primary School prior to September 1999, since when the current title has been used. {5}
