became two of the most significant economic activities in Jamaica. Largely illiterate and uneducated settlers poured into the island seeking their fortune, hoping to return to England as wealthy, respectable citizens. The provision of education for the population was therefore a very low priority. John Wolmer was not the first to bequeath money for the establishment of an educational institution in Jamaica. Philip Vicarry (1676), Thomas Martin (1681) and Sir Nicholas Lawes (1695) all left money for the establishment of free schools in various parts of Jamaica, but those schools did not survive or nothing was done about establishing them. Wolmer’s will declared that a ‘free school’ be established in the parish where he happened to die. His will did not exclude any ethnic group or class of people from entering the school, but simply said that a ‘free school’ be established. It is believed that his intention was for the school to be free of charge. It was the early Trustees who, in establishing the Wolmer’s Trust, introduced a racial bias and allowed only white children to attend the school initially. Reflecting the prejudices of the time, Jewish children were expected to pay for their education, while African children were not accepted at Wolmer’s until some time later. The school did not begin operation until 1736 because of some ‘defects’ in John Wolmer’s will. No provision was made for the housing of the school, nor were there any rules or guidelines for its management. It took the intervention of Jamaica’s House of Assembly in 1731, 1734 and 1736 and many amendments, before a law was passed establishing the Wolmer’s Trust in 1736. The Kingston Common Council, the forerunner to the Kingston and St. Andrew Corporation (KSAC), was responsible for the maintenance, direction, regulation, administration and management of the school and nominated several members to the Wolmer’s Board of management, for over two hundred years.

The school fee was six pistoles per year. The school did not do so well in its early years and was even closed briefly between 1755 and 1757. Attendance was irregular, proper registers were not kept and salaries were sometimes paid late. In 1779 a Girls’ Division was opened, with Miss Margaret Richardson being the first head. It was under the supervision of the Boys’ School headmaster. In the 19th century the Trustees made efforts to reorganise the school. The restrictions placed on Jewish and Coloured children entering the school were officially removed in 1815. School hours were set at 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. in 1818, with fourteen days vacation during Midsummer and three weeks at Christmas. An Infant Division was added and more buildings were constructed on the school property. The total school population in 1843 was over 500 students. New subjects such as French (for girls) and Spanish (for boys), Geography and Astronomy were introduced. In 1857, the Infant Division was abolished and in 1867, Wolmer’s was changed from a Grammar school to an Elementary school. It remained so until 1894, when the school was returned to its high school status. In that year also, the Trustees took the decision to formally separate the Boys’ School from the Girls’ School.

There is speculation that he may have come from Switzerland or England. As a goldsmith and jeweller, he probably benefitted from the gold coming from Africa and mainland America that was worked by the few goldsmiths in Port Royal, hence his wealth. Goldsmiths also helped to regulate the value of foreign currency to the English Pound, by buying and selling currency. Goldsmiths also made money by acting as brokers connected to the slave trade and as usurers (moneylenders). There is reference of one Peter Calliard selling Negro slaves to John Wolmer in 1712, who was described as “the Kingston jeweller”. He wrote his will on May 21, 1729 (Founder’s Day) and died in Kingston parish on June 29, 1729. The sum of £2,360 was left for the purpose of the establishment of the “Free School”. He also left in his will £50 to the poor of his parish, granted his slaves their freedom (and his clothing) and left his good friend John Williams, his horse, furniture, a silver quarter and £20.
