General - in school
Built in 1930, it replaced the school at Blue Hall and it was very modern with central heating (still used) which was quite rare.
Pupils sat in rows facing the front of the classroom, on chairs with double desks in which they could store their books. There was an ink well and pupils had to make the ink and wash out the inkwells on a Friday afternoon.
School always started with prayers. Parents were not really welcome at school. Blackboards were free standing and could be turned over. On the classroom walls, there would be examples of good work, maybe a map, pictures e.g. of historical figures. There was a large globe in the infants' classroom. There might be experiments going on such as mustard and cress growing on blotting paper, or frog spawn tanks.
