EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of education in the 1950s at Arnold County High School in Nottinghamshire. From a bird's-eye view atop the school building, we are presented with a picturesque scene that showcases both architectural beauty and functional design. In this image, our attention is drawn towards the science block and an intriguing barn-roof covered athletics space. The school's gymnasium may have been relatively small, but it boasted an impressive outdoor area of 8,000 sq ft for games practice. This unique space was sheltered by a curved Dutch Barn style corrugated iron structure, providing students with ample room to engage in physical activities while being connected to nature. The photograph not only highlights the importance placed on physical education during that era but also serves as a testament to thoughtful construction practices.

As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that Arnold County High School prioritized holistic development through its commitment to academic excellence alongside physical well-being. This image offers us a glimpse into an educational institution where learning extended beyond classroom walls and embraced innovation in architecture.
