The school was built by the Wildmore Fen United District School Board, formed in 1879, and opened in 1881 as the Wildmore (Hundle Houses) Board School. The school became Wildmore Council School in 1903, and Wildmore County School in 1947. Senior pupils were transferred to the new Gartree Secondary Modern School at Tattershall from April 1954. In 1956 the school was renamed New York County School and since 1999 has been known as New York County Primary School. {3}
