A decision has still not been taken on the future use of the Woodfield Community Primary School site.
The school in Bilton will officially close on December 31 but has been empty for some time.
There has been no event to mark the closure, unlike Kell Bank Primary School near Masham, which organised several activities celebrating its history when its doors closed for the final time last year.
North Yorkshire County Council, the local education authority, said in a statement in October:
“The county council will be exploring whether there are alternative educational uses for the school buildings. There are controls around the reuse or redevelopment of school sites, and any alternative uses that are proposed will be the subject of consultation.”
The county council-owned site also houses Bilton and Woodfield Community Library, Harrogate Bilton Children and Family Hub and Oak Beck House, which remain open.
After Woodfield school’s final term ended, the Stray Ferret asked the council for an update on its plans for the site.
A council spokeswoman said:
“There is no update from our last statements. We are still in discussions about the future use of the site.”
