A Souvenir of THORNE GRAMMAR SCHOOL 1705 – 2005
From the Goole – Howden – Thorne Courier (14 Jul 05)
Anyone who listened to either The Vardy Foundation (now the Emmanuel Schools Foundation) or Doncaster Council, could have be forgiven for believing that the children in Thorne didn’t even have a school to go to; so complete was their over the top hyping-up of the new school & simultaneous hysterical denigration of the existing one. Okay, Thorne Grammar School may have had a few problems but these were steadily being addressed and there was no excuse for bad-mouthing it into the ground. In fact, it has had a long & proud past, recently highlighted by a 4-page pullout in the Goole – Howden – Thorne Courier in recognition of its imminent closure. I have split this into 8 bits & reproduced it here. Click on the thumbnails for a larger image.
