The clock is being turned back at a Leamington school which is celebrating its 100th
The clock is being turned back at a Leamington school which is celebrating its 100th birthday. Some of the 190 pupils at Clapham Terrace First School have already had a taste of 19th century school life. They swopped their jotters for blackboard slates and calculators for an abacus, when they arrived for the lesson at a Victorian classroom in Warwick. Girls wore clean white smocks and boys wore smart sailor-suit collalrs for the lesson in the county museum at St. Johns House. Pupils had to recite their tables, do sums on their slates, and take down dictation. Head teacher Susan Sharp wants to trace all surviving former pupils so they can be invited to a series of reunions. She wants to put former pupils reports and photographs into an exhibition at the school during summer term.
