The school was built in 1902 and opened in 1903, is similar in design to many other parish schools built around this time. The traditional granite walls of the building blend well with the beautiful surrounding countryside.
St Lawrence in its early days was an Elementary School. At that time most pupils received the whole of their education at St. Lawrence and left to commence their working life at fourteen.
In 1913 it was one of 14 parish schools taken over by the States.
In 1949 St Lawrence became the first Primary School to take children from five to eleven years, and that respect it has not changed over the past 60 years.
The Nursery was added in 1992 and the complete refurbishment/rebuilding programme for the whole school was completed in 2000.
