The hall was opened for the education of children of Egmanton who until that time had attended school in Laxton.

Laxton school closed and Laxton and Moorhouse children came to Egmanton. Two classes accommodated all children from infants to leaving age.

The School closed totally and juniors moved to Tuxford Junior School.

First major project to convert the school to a functional hall was completed with the addition of kitchen and toilets.
