X - Grove Academy: Grove Academy WW1

Selection of Grove archive materials relating to the school during WW1 and WW2. Included will be research materials on those former pupil who lost their lives during the war.

Grove has a long and proud history in Broughty Ferry. Grove opened in 1889, 25 years before WW1. Our archive materials stretch back to 1889 and show a school routine not that dissimilar to what we have today. The archives also give us an insight into life in the Ferry during WW1 and WW2.

Perhaps the most significant difference is the use of the school for air-raid drills and shelters during WW2 which was not a factor in WW1. With the 100 year anniversary of the end of WW1 Grove staff and pupils will have on display, not only the archivesfrom the wars, but also the research undertaken into those pupils whose names appear on our war memorial.�
