Celebrations are taking place today to mark a milestone anniversary of a northern secondary school which led the way in education.
A new exhibition has been launched at the Ramsey Heritage Centre which marks 70 years since Ramsey Grammar School became the first comprehensive school in Britain:
In England comprehensive education wasn't widely introduced until 1965 - although the Island school retains the title of a grammar school, it's simply a legacy of the past.
Headteacher Annette Baker says making education inclusive to all students, regardless of their academic ability or income, is still a fundamental principle:
