There has been a school in Gawber since 1715. In 1973 the West Riding Education Authority built the present school which is one of the most modern designs to be found in the Barnsley Metropolitan Borough.

Situated on the edge of the village of Gawber with uninterrupted views overlooking Higham, Cawthorne and Deffer Woods on two sides and the church yard of St. Thomas's on the other two sides, Gawber Primary School provides a safe and quiet semi-rural setting.

Priority is given in school to the provision of a high quality learning environment where children can feel comfortable and warm, surrounded by lively and attractive displays of their work.

We have recently opened our much awaited extension which includes a purpose built Foundation Stage unit, an ICT suite and an extra classroom.

The school now has seven classroom bases which are supplemented by a number of shared areas. All classrooms have their own adjacent cloakroom with toilet facilities, wash basins and warm air dryers.
