The group will hold an exhibition celebrating the history of the school and village at which they will record the memories of former pupils and teachers.

Museum staff will provide advice on the design of the exhibition displays which will be produced by the community.
Separate workshops will encourage the young people of the community to participate, these will involve translating the experiences captured into a mural as well as designing a heritage trail leaflet based on the recordings.
A final event celebrating the life of the school will be held with reunions and further collection of material.
