The air raids during the war years were very disruptive for the school:
Registers were marked late in the afternoon. The siren went at 12.55 & the all-clear came at 2pm. 18 children & the staff arrived at 1.30 - the other children came after 2pm. Siren went again at 3 - children were kept till the all clear at 3.30pm.
Around 30 children lived close enough to school to run home if the siren sounded, some parents came to collect their children to shelter them at home, while the rest sheltered at school with the staff.
