Woodhouse Grove School was founded in 1812 - and 2012 is the 200th Anniversary.
There will be a whole host of celebratory events going on through out the year but in addition to these, the Governors have commissioned Nigel Watson to complete the history of the school up to 2012.
In 1912 "A Short History of Woodhouse Grove" was published to mark the first centenary. This was followed 50 years later in 1962 with "Woodhouse Grove School - A hundred and fifty years of memories and recollections".
Another 50 years on in 2012 we are producing something even bigger and better to celebrate 200 years of Woodhouse Grove School.
This book is now available to order from the Development Office at the price of just £14.99 plus postage. (Sorry we can't accept online orders.)

Old Grovian, Richard Thornton, has taken on the mammoth task of attempting to name all the pupils on the various school photos dating back to the early 1900’s, in particularl the photos of the whole school (panoras) up to the late 1930’s (there were none taken during the war years).
If you are able to help name any fellow pupils, perhaps your contemporaries or a family member, please Sam Cadman and she'll get in touch with Richard's details.
Old Grovians may remember the team photos that used to adorn the walls of the Dining Room.
We are delighted to say that we've just finished digitising these and they will shortly be available to view online. Watch this space...
