A VILLAGE school has made strong links with it’s past at a 140 year anniversary celebration.
Gembling School celebrated 140 years of existance on October 25 at a celebration for staff and pupils, past and present.
Between 60 and 70 guests attended the event, including four former head teachers and one former teacher.
The day saw pupils take part in a variety of activies including writing with quills and saw guests enjoy a display of old photographs of the school.
Gemblings elder pupils dressed in Victorian fancy dress and worked in pairs to make films about the celebration and the memories of those who had attended.
The younger pupils organised a modern day celebration.
Grant Morrison, senior teacher at Gembling School said: “It was very very well attended.
“There was a real ‘then and now’ spirit and the children loved hearing stories of days gone by at the school - it was a very touching event.
“A particular highlight was receiving a letter from a lady in her 90s who was a padt pupil of the school - she apologises for not being able to make it and shares with us her experiences of being at the school.”
Driffield Times & Post photographer, Pam Stanforth, went along to photograph some of those who enjoyed the celebration.
