In 1950, Gilbertstone became home to a primary school, designed by Crouch, Butler and Savage in a typical postwar style. The wooden structures, which had formed Oaklands County Primary School, had been completely dismantled from their site in Dolphin Lane in Acocks Green and reassembled in the new estate. The buildings were demolished in 1998 following concerns over the stability of the structure. In 1998, construction work on the new buildings commenced and were opened by Estelle Morris on 24 March 2000. The school was able to construct the buildings following a cash injection by Birmingham International Airport.
