From 1922, when the British and Church of England schools were amalgamated, this occupied the former British Infant School (built in 1910) in Dark Lane. West Knoyle school closed in 1927 and the infants were transferred to Mere. There were considerable improvements to the building in the 1950s and '60s, after which three classrooms were available. In 1972 the school system in the area was reorganised into three tiers and the infant school became a first school for children aged from 5 - 9 years from Mere and West Knoyle in four classrooms. Further information can be found under the Mere First School heading.
