Saint Jago and Wolmer's uniforms look very sophisticated. Note how most of the better schools have smarter-looking uniforms; even the exterior of the school buildings have more sedate colors, which is good for the mental well being of the students. What you said about the Saint Jago school of long ago, shows how many of the truly poor whose parents and grandparents were enslaved and who truly deserved to be educated, were cheated out of it by corrupt school and Church officials. It reminds me of a current situation in the US where an older white ex athlete, worth tens of millions of dollars, was caught getting millions of dollars of money that was appropriated for the very poor, many of whom were black. Access to education in Jamaica appears more equitable now.

Thomas Manning died and left his will years before John Wolmer. It is only because of politics and delays at the assembly that Wolmers was built before The Mannings School. Otherwise The Mannings School would be the oldest school in Jamaica.
