Details of the 1947 School Prospectus give us some insight into how a post war Britain was responding to the new educational challenges it faced.

If you follow the links on the right you will see some of the motives and ideals which underpinned the founding of our school. Evident in the prospectus is enthusiasm, optimism and a genuine belief in the value of education for children.

The policy outlined by the Head Teacher in 1947 may be phrased differently to our current one but it's underlying ethos remains the same...

" It is hoped that, when the time arrives for the children to go out into the world, they will know how to seek out knowledge for themselves and will desire to go further in some branch or other of learning. If this objective is attained then, throughout their adult life, they will return in their leisure hours and the school will be recognised as the natural centre for the cultural, educational, social, and recreational activities of the whole of the wide area which it serves. The 'leaving age' will, in fact, never be reached."
