The school bell at a primary school with just six pupils will ring for the final time today after more than 200 years.
Image source, GoogleKell Bank Primary, near Masham, has been educating children since 1820 but, with two of the remaining pupils set to move on to secondary school this summer, North Yorkshire County Council says it is no longer viable to keep it running.
Chair of the school governors Jeff Loveday said the decline in farming in the area and amount of people moving away meant the number of pupils had fallen too low for the school to stay open.
"It's a bit strange, a little bit unreal," he said.
"Although we prepared for this moment it's arrived and it doesn't feel real."
He said the remaining four pupils had found places in other nearby schools.
