Tollerton School photos

Our thanks go to Peggy Heason who had kept photos and newspaper cuttings of these events over the years. Kinza Evans , her granddaughter, passed these along to us which we are forever grateful.

The official opening of Tollerton School took place in 1963. The headmistress was Mrs E D Gretton and the ceremony was performed by Miss Milford pf the Nottingham Girls’ High School.

The school, on a three acre site, was designed to accommodate 160 pupils in four classrooms, each with it’s own cloakroom and toilet facilities. There was a multi-purpose assembly hall. The project cost £25,922.
