The war years brought to Hunwick Village evacuees from Gateshead, the children being educated at the school. It was also noted that air raid warnings at night greatly affected attendance the following day, although these were not frequent occurances.
Another memorable event in the history of the school was brought about indirectly by the war. In June 1942 twelve pupils and the headmaster took part in a film for the Ministry of Information filmed at Houghall. Also included in the film were shots of school activities, including gardening, woodwork, and poultry keeping. The film was called "A Tale of Two Villages."
