Schools and school uniforms have changed a lot over the years.
As students get ready to start a new school year, we look back at one of the island’s much-loved old schools.
This photo taken in 1955, shows the Ventnor School, with five young students outside – from left: Susan Byron Moore, Angie Gardiner, Shirley Booth, Eileen Jones and Elizabeth Bruton.
Last year, former students celebrated the 100th anniversary of the school opening on September 6, 1922, with a special afternoon in the old school building.
The school is now home to the Syme family who graciously hosted the 100th birthday anniversary in the old school rooms. Photo courtesy of Julie Box.
