We are fortunate enough to still have the first school log book and some others too. Here is the first page from when the school was opened on 1 October 1878:
We are in the process of photographing many of the pages to give a snapshot of school life in the past. If you have any old photos or memories of the school in the past we would be pleased to hear from you. Also we are interested to collect information about the Whaplode Drove National School which closed many years ago now. For contact details please see the main school site.
