St Paul's CofE (Aided) Primary School

We are fortunate that children can view and use such a large portion of our history. Our proud history, including the people who have taught here, and the events that have happened in the school, provide us with an incredibly valuable teaching tool that links in with a lot of our topics. Helen Wharmby, a governor and parent at the school, has created a fantastically comprehensive history of the school as part of our 150th anniversary celebrations in 2010. A History of St Paul's tells the story of our School from the day it first opened its doors in March 1860, through the varied and often traumatic events of the twentieth century, to the challenges the School now faces in the twenty-first century. It will appeal to anyone with a personal connection with St Paul's School (pupils, parents, teachers, relatives, friends) and anyone interested in the history of our local area or the wider development of education in England.
