Roland Jones

Born 1934 at Wood Cottage, Sandhall Estate.
I started Skelton school September 1939, the back room was for the young children. The front room for the older children. There was a coke stove with large fire guard. Mrs Green from Howden was the teacher for the older children, and Mrs Wil for the younger children. When Mrs Green retired Miss Parker took over.
We had a Christmas party every year Mr & Mrs Scholfield supplied the tree.
The School closed 1946. Here are the names of some of the children’s names.
Raymond Atkinson, Brian Leighton, Phil Hobson, Josephine Jackson, Valery Ackney, Alan Newman Peter, Newman.
Mr & Mrs Scholfield had eleven evacuees in early 1940 who went to the school.
The School building had a bell on the right hand side of the roof, which was taken down for safety about 1940 by Mr Fox the Village Blacksmith at Laxton.
 
Our thanks go to Mr Jones for his memories of Skelton Village School. c.2017
