Llanferres National/Endowed School was opened in 1763 when the original school house was built (endowed by Catherine Jones of Colomendy). An additional school building was added to the school house around 1847. National schools were often known as "Church Schools" and were affiliated with local parish churches.
The school ceased to have aided status and became a Controlled School 1953 and it eventually closed in December 1976
