Members and affiliates of St Helens Primary School have been celebrating a momentous landmark this month.
The school celebrated 50 years on its current site at Broomlands Close on March 15 and held a celebration event at the school the following day.
The day included live entertainment, photos, memorabilia and a slideshow with music from 1974.
A spokesperson for St Helens Primary School said:
"Our four classes also created artwork from children's cartoons of the era."
Entertainment was provided by Sean Goodfield, a parent and Island-wide performer.
Music came from Matt Searle who is one of the co-chairs of the governing body.
The school's PTA, known as FOSH (Friends of St Helens), provided cakes and drinks for the visitors and £158.11 was raised from donations for the refreshments.
Around 150 people walked through the door on the day, including pupils past and present - all the way back to 1974, as well as teaching and non-teaching staff.
