We  often receive enquiries regarding the school’s honours boards, “do they still exist?” And if so “where are they?”.

At the time of the school demolition we managed to locate them in a garage located near to the 1960’s (Adwick School) buildings, as far as we know this is where they still reside though we have no further details. Over the years several members of the council, the academy and senior staff all promised that when the new school was built the honour boards would be incorporated in some way, possibly as part of a memorial wall display. I myself was personally assured that they were so keen to preserve certain items that should nobody else do it, staff would come with cutting gear to remove items from the school. In the end apart from myself and a few other ex-pupils nobody did anything to salvage items from the school. Some of these items were given to the academy and nothing has been heard of them since. There appears to be no enthusiasm whatsoever on the part of the new academy to produce any lasting memorials and unless this situation changes the outlook for the survival of the honours boards looks bleak. At the time I was allowed access I managed to take a few photographs but due to the poor lighting and cramped conditions these images were less than ideal, but I have decided to place them below so that interested parties can view them.
