| In celebration of its 100th Anniversary, the school held an open day in 1995. The school was crowded with ex-pupils who enjoyed looking round the classrooms, which had changed little since they attended. The school admissions registers were also on display, and several people looked up the exact date they had started, the address where they lived then, and when they left. Many old acquaintances were renewed. |

Evening Telegraph, 1999 Threads of Time — A BEAUTIFUL tapestry depicting a Rushden school has gone on display to mark its 100th anniversary. Newton Road Junior School is celebrating its centenary this year and former teacher Glyn Muncey made the tapestry for the school. He took up the hobby after retiring from teaching in 1986 after a stroke. Glyn is pictured here presenting a plaque to mark the occasion to county council chairman Maye Dicks. In the background is his tapestry work. |
