See below for Pictures and Stories of Brompton Schooldays
 | This postcard dated 1906 kindly contributed by Colin Narramore shows the school on Station Road looking down towards the crossroads.
A school has existed on this site since 1840. The original school was taken over as a board school in 1870 and then enlarged.
This school was in use until it was demolished in 1974 and replaced by the present one.

Irish soldiers at Brompton School 1915
 | This picture shows soldiers of the First World War who were billeted at the old Brompton School. The Regiment is unknown however it is believed they were billetted here prior to leaving for the front.Note how young the majority appear to be.
There are a couple of civilian men on the photo, perhaps they were the caretakers of the school? Any information is welcome..
