A handful of photos from the "other" Malton School - Malton National School, or Malton Senior School. This used to be situated where the library is today. Sadly no photo of the building has as yet come to light.

Malton Senior School was known either as the Senior School, or the National School, or St Michael's Street School, and came into existence in the early 1800's, was rebuilt in 1857 at a cost of £700 and was described in 1859 as a "good stone building". An additional classroom extended the school in 1886. It was a mixed school, with 300 pupils on roll in 1890. The school was administered by the "National Society" under the control of the Anglican Church. The boys playground could be approached from Yorkersgate or Wheelgate, whilst the girls' playground was at the front of the school in St Michael's Street. It finally closed on the opening of the County Modern in 1958, when the pupils transferred to the new school. The building was subsequently demolished, and the new library was built on the site.

Some brief notes and a few memories about the school are on the site.
