OLD AND young came together at a top secondary school to compare their differing experiences of education over the decades.

Mossley Hollins High School welcomed five residents from Millbrook Care Centre to join them for a morning to get a taste of school life in the 21st century.

The visitors were greeted by the school’s headboy Jordan Harris and headgirl Phoebe Mellor, who talked to them about their studies, duties and trips.

Then the group visited arts or food technology lessons to see how children are taught in 2015.

They finished the day by telling a group of Year 7 pupils about their memories of growing up and going to school in the 1940s and 1950s.
