In this heartwarming print from 1987, we see a group of dedicated Mirfield mothers embracing the opportunity to go back to basics at Upper Hopton First School. These remarkable women have joined their children, aged seven to nine, for school recorder lessons, showcasing their unwavering commitment towards their children's education. Headmistress Mrs Nolen Hobson explains that these mothers wanted to be able to help their children and it all started from there. With the guidance of teacher Mrs Pamela Hall, who provided preliminary lessons to bring them up to standard, these enthusiastic mothers now regularly participate in class alongside their little ones. Their hard work and determination paid off when they made their musical debut during a special school service held on Mother's Day. The pride and joy radiating from both the children and the mothers is evident in this captured moment.
