IN this edition of nostalgia, we are looking back at some of our local secondary schools. Today, we look at Silloth Secondary School, also known as Solway Community School.
Solway Community School is a mixed secondary school located in Silloth. Solway Community School is a secondary school which offers GCSEs and vocational courses.
The school previously held specialist status as a Technology College, and was called Solway Community Technology College during this period.
Some of the notable former pupils include John O'Neil, a former rugby player who played in the 1950s and 1960s. He played at representative level for England Under-21s.
The school was established over 50 years ago, with a capacity of only 295, however the school say "we are small but mighty."
