The years to come are set to see the old school site become the home of new affordable homes to rent.
But before that happens, we thought it’d be a good time to take a look back at some of the pictures in our archives taken by our photographers at the school over the years.
The photos we found date back to the 1920s and up until its closure in 2014.
They show former pupils and staff, and are sure to bring back many memories for those of you who went to Skerton School or taught there, and your families and friends.
