I remember Mr Hilary, he was diabetic, he used to suck sweets all the time! and I got my legs slapped with a ruler, was I the only girl!?? I had Mrs King (dont know which year) and the classroom was a prefab in the rear playground, Its still there! I remember playing in the air-raid shelters in the playground but they have since gone. My daughter now goes dancing there after school!! Really strange going back, I'd love to have a proper look round.


Does anyone remember Mr Bachelor reciting the story of Rudyard Kiplings "Rikki Tikki Tavi" in the school hall year after year??

Anyone remember Mrs Lloyd? She was my teacher for 2 years followed by Miss Giles. Both were well respected & I still can remember them despite leaving in 1967 to go to Vyners. Mr Thomas also taught sports & he got me going at cricket - a lot to answer for!

Yes I remember all of those teachers Miss Evans was my favorite. Mr Batchelor was the Head white I was there. I have an old school photo with him and Miss Evans on it. I was there sometime between 1956 and 1961 then I went on to Bourne.

Mr Hilary (SP?) used to slap the tops of the legs of naughty boys, then long trousers were invented...




Is it true that he once threatend to lob himself off the tower - or was that a school myth. My kids go there now - there is carpet in there!
