In 1908, the curriculum included 'Domestic Economy' for girls and 'Manual Instruction' for boys. Today, all students follow a curriculum that includes learning to cook and financial and money skills. #400factsfor400years

This memorial in the school hall commemorates 12 Challoner's who lost their lives in WW1. Further losses occurred in WW2, with the death of 24 former students. Today, we honour and remember those who have died while serving their country in war or conflict. #400factsfor400years
