The Education (Scotland) Act 1872 set up a system of education for the whole of Scotland. Therefore there are records of Oldhamstocks Public School dating from 1874 until it closed in 1970. Pupils from the Oldhamstocks catchment area thereafter attended Innerwick Primary School and Dunbar Grammar School. In 1872 schooling was made compulsory for children between the ages of 5 and 13. The age was raised to 15 in the mid-1900s.

Following the closure of the school, East Lothian County Council retained the school building and adjoining schoolhouse. For several years it was rented to various crafting businesses as a workshop.
Both buildings were purchased by Neil and Barbara Richerby who had set up the old school as Lammermuir Pipe Organs.
After a fire caused serious damage, the old school was rebuilt as a dwelling and is now a family home.
