Last year the County Council consulted on proposals to reorganise the Infant and Junior Schools in the northen half of Dronfield. Their preferred option seemed to be to close all the current 4 schools and build a single large school on the Gladys Buxton site. Having consulted on this they seem to have changed their mind and now have a much less  radical plan. 

The authority is now proposing to moveStonelow Junior School to a new building on the on the Gladys Buxton Centre site and close Northfield Junior School. Lenthall Infant School would continue to offer provision for pupils aged three to seven years and Holmsdale Infant School would continue to educate children aged five to seven years. However they also say that the new Stonelow school would be built in such a way that it could be extended into a Primary School at a later date
