Livestock Unit, Fowey Community School, Fowey, Cornwall. July 1990
Students of Fowey Community School tend to the livestock in their specially created unit in a barn at the school. The catchment area of the school includes many rural communities where farming is a major employer so the unit was set up to cater for school aged children who may then progress into agriculture.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from July 1990, we are transported to the Livestock Unit at Fowey Community School in the picturesque town of Fowey, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of students donning their school uniforms as they diligently tend to the livestock housed within a specially created barn on campus. Fowey Community School strategically established this unique unit to cater to its student population residing in rural communities surrounding the area. With agriculture being a major employer in these regions, it was crucial for the school to provide an avenue for young minds interested in pursuing careers within this industry. Photographer Jonathan Barker beautifully captures the essence of this educational initiative by focusing on geese gracefully roaming around their enclosure while students attentively care for them. The scene exudes both tranquility and purpose, symbolizing the harmonious relationship between humans and animals that is fostered within these walls. This photograph not only serves as a testament to Fowey Community School's commitment towards nurturing future generations but also highlights Cornwall's rich agricultural heritage. It encapsulates how education intertwines with local traditions and livelihoods, creating opportunities for young individuals to develop skills that will shape their futures while honoring their Cornish roots. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the dedication and foresight demonstrated by Fowey Community School in preparing its students for meaningful contributions within Cornwall's farming community.
