At the other end of the village the Fishmongers Company built a large primary school in a similar style to the Presbyterian Church. Glasvey School was constructed in 1828 and, though now obscured by later planting and housing, its location was carefully chosen to close one end of the settlement with the main street splitting in two directions at the base of its garden. It closed as a school in 1966 with the Company donating it as an endowment to the University of Ulster. Today it has been converted into apartments overlooking a communal garden but it retains much of its original external character.
