“Thank you for this work which will be invaluable for the school and all
associated with it. The book should be an inspiration for other
comprehensive schools that haven’t yet recorded their history.”

This School opened in 1966 with pupils from three
schools which were closing in the area, due to redevelopment. Like many
comprehensive schools, Elliott Durham had no recorded history of the
school before participative work on this book started. In 2001, the Head
Teacher, Rob Boothroyd said it had been important to the School that its
history had been documented and he added: “I think we are getting better
at recording things for the long-term.”
In November 2002, pupils from the School took part in the launch of St Ann’s Nottingham: inner-city voices and they presented Estelle Morris, former Secretary of State for Education, with a copy of the Elliott Durham Book when she visited the School in December 2002. |
