School Roll

The number of children receiving education of some sort in earlier periods can be gleaned by the number designated as scholars in the censuses from 1851:

Year	Scholars
1851	12
1861	20
1871	21
1881	14
1891	14
1901	7

While attendance records no longer survive for the Pharay School, some indication of the roll for subsequent periods can be obtained from the School Log and genealogical research on the different families on the island.

Year	Number
1906	13
1911	13
1916	14
1921	17
1926	13
1931	11
1936	7
1941	7
1946	2

The school closed on 3rd July 1946. The last teacher was Mr George Simpson.
