Tribute time for former school

By Chester Chronicle on Mar 14, 08 07:55 PM in Country areas

GENERATIONS of pupils from a school which has now closed will gather on Sunday to share their memories of days in the classrooms.

Harthill Primary School shut in February after 140 years educating the local community's children.
A service will be held at Burwardsley Church at 2pm on Sunday Mar 16 for anyone associated with the school community.

Headteacher Mo Morron said: "It will be a celebration of the life of Harthill Primary School and all it has contributed to the local community over the last 140 years.
"Some children are coming back to take part in the service and give talks about their memories of the school."

The school was opened in 1868 as a Church of England school and closed under Cheshire County Council's Transforming Learning Communities review due to falling birth rates.

The Chronicle is interested in former pupils and staff's memories of Harthill Primary School. Tell us about your school days by leaving comments.
