Education Truro


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1900s, capturing a glimpse of Kea board school in Cornwall. The image showcases the impressive exterior of this educational institution that played a significant role in shaping young minds during its time. Built in 1879, Kea school stood as a symbol of progress and opportunity for the local community. The photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is Arthur William Jordan, whose keen eye skillfully immortalized this historic moment. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate the architectural beauty and grandeur of Kea board school. Over the years, this esteemed establishment evolved into what is now known as Kea Community Primary School - an enduring testament to its commitment to education and nurturing young talents. It has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on generations of Cornish students who passed through its doors. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when children roamed these hallowed halls with boundless curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the importance placed on education within Cornish society. Preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, this print not only captures a piece of history but also invites us to reflect on how far our educational institutions have come since then. It stands as a tribute to all those who dedicated their lives to fostering knowledge and empowering future generations in Truro's vibrant community.
