90th celebrated with time capsule
Thomas Hinderwell Primary Academy in Scarborough has celebrated its 90th anniversary with a packed day of activities for pupils, staff, and all who have had with a connection to the school.
Past employees, alumni and anyone connected to the school, which is part of the David Ross Education Trust, were invited to a special coffee morning to mark the occasion.
Attendees were encouraged to bring any photos or memorabilia from their time at the school and they were given a tour to enable them to see how the school has changed over time.
Current pupils and members of staff also created a time capsule to commemorate the anniversary, including
a letter to their future selves and mementos.
The capsule will be opened again during the school’s centenary in 2032.
Pupils also had the opportunity to be included in an aerial whole school photograph, where they stood in the shape of the number 90 in the school grounds and an image was captured using a drone camera.
Chloe Webster, head of school, said: “It’s brilliant to have the opportunity to mark such an important day in our school’s history.
“Today has captured the vibrant, community feel of our school.
“The time capsule is a fantastic opportunity for our pupils to understand the importance of their own role in the school and society, encouraging them to making a positive and meaningful impact in everything that they do.”
