Opened as the British Schools in rooms adjoining Calne Free Church in 1868. There was both a mixed elementary boys and girls school and an infants' school and by 1876 there were 153 pupils. Numbers rose towards the end of the century and by 1910 there were around 200, although this dropped to about 175 in 1919. The infants' school closed in 1922 and by 1927 there were 70 pupils in the mixed school. The school closed in 1930 and pupils were transferred to the newly formed Calne Junior School, with older pupils going to the Calne County Secondary School.
