Byfield School has been on the present site for a hundred years, although there was a school in Byfield before this.
On 29th June 2006 a stone was unveiled on the front of the school in order to commemorate the centenary of the laying of the foundation stone. The ceremony was attended by several local dignitaries including the M.P.
The children and staff were dressed as Edwardians for the day. The original foundation stone is also on the front of the school.
