Melverley School, Wimborne.Picture sent in by Helen Martin
Former pupils of Melverley School, Wimborne, are invited to attend a reunion tea party on May 6.
The school began at Clevedon Lodge in 1931 with Miss Bliss as headmistress. It then moved to Rowlands Hill, and Avishays house was acquired in 1945 as a boarding house, with the addition of Melbury Lodge in 1953.
After Miss Bliss retired in 1957, the school was bought by Kenneth and Barbara Robinson, herself a former pupil, who ran the school from 1958 until its closure in 1970.
