OUR SCHOOL HISTORY

At Thorpe we have a school log book which dates back to the opening of the first school at Thorpe on the Hill.
Here are a couple of comments from the log book: 7th November 1939 'There are now 67 children in the school, 43 of which are ages 9 - 14yrs and consequently being in the senior room being taught by the headmistress. The increased numbers obviously entail difficulties for the teachers, especially in marking.
'7th October 'School closed for one week for potato harvest.'
