School's out! Let's celebrate with 9 retro end-of-term photos

School’s out for summer! And part of the fun is the last day in the classroom before you break up for the holidays.

These kids had loads of fun on their last days over the years.

We love the Beach Day at New Beginnings Nursery in 2008, pirates at Barmston in 2003 and the production of Oliver at East Herrington Primary in 1996.

But that’s just the start. See what else we have in store by browsing through our Echo archive gallery.
