This book was written to mark the centenary of the opening of the new South Moreton School on 18 May 1896. It is a very readable history of a village school nestling in the middle of a small village in what was north Berkshire, now South Oxfordshire.
The fabric of the school has changed dramatically during its hundred years' existence and these changes are clearly mapped out in the text. Other aspects of the school that we see changing include the nature and content of lessons, playtime, school lunches, and of course the effects of two world wars.
What has not changed, however, is the important part the school has played in the lives of hundreds of children who have attended as pupils, many of whom are pictured here at work and at play.
