ARCHIVES

The archives are an important part of the school’s heritage, indeed many of the items have been donated to the school over the generations by former pupils, and in some respects they are equally significant in terms of the village’s history.

In general terms the archive comprises paper documents, both ancient and modern, of every description, photographs, framed and unframed, cups and trophies, paintings, old school clothing from different eras; in fact, memorabilia of all kinds.

Most of the paper documents acquired are on long-term loan in the Whitehaven Records Office as part of an arrangement which has developed over the last decade. This ensures they will be properly catalogued and professionally conserved.

Future contributions to the archives and general enquiries relating to the history of the school will continue to be warmly welcomed.
