Darowen School 8
The little ones
Many of the remarks by the School Inspectors as recorded in the Darowen School Log Books over the years were very favourable, especially with regard to the isolated location of the little village school. One such comment is shown below.

The above entry was made on 11th September,1934 and reads:
"The little ones evidently make considerable sacrificies
to attend in all weathers and take a keen interest in their work.
[In] Spite of the illness of the teachers there is no
falling off in the attainments of the children".
A report recorded some 30 years earlier includes very high praise for the singing of the children.

heard in a rural school."
