In 1932 an extension was added to the school adding a new hall and practical rooms. The school became a mixed senior school for children of 11+. Village resident Mrs. Nora Ryder remembers that during this time children had to walk to Sunnybrow school for some lessons. At this time abler children were given a chance to study algebra, geometry and French through a new experiment called Higher Top.
Following the retirement of Mr. Straw in 1927, Mr. Holt was now the headmaster. He was responsible for the creation of an 'Old Student's Club' which was to last for many years.
Pigeon racing dates back to the very early 1900's and has been a part of village life right up to the present day. The page showing Hunwick WC society is taken from the 1932 Homing Society handbook. Pictured is Teddy Bowes who is listed in the handbook. Today there is still a Bowes racing pigeons from the village, Teddys Greatgrandson Edward.
