Passing on the Past - Celebrating 70 years of Jesse Boot Primary School 1935 - 2005
Location: Nottinghamshire
Jesse Boot, the largest inner city primary school in Nottingham, celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2005. Initial research uncovered very little recorded history on Jesse Boot so letters, posters, leaflets and a small press article were used to measure interest in a history project about the school.
The response from old pupils and local people willing to help has been overwhelming. An exhibition of old photographs will provide an excellent trigger for memories which will be recorded and this material will be used for a community play with a professional scriptwriter, director and artists working alongside volunteers at all stages.
A commemorative booklet will be printed and a copy given to everyone involved in the project. A room within the school will be set up in the 1930s style with artefacts bought and hired and this will be accessible by the local community as well as other local schools.
