Yes, Mr Bachelor was head when I was there, 1964-69. Recently visited Corfe Castle, knew there was some affinity there with my past, of course it was Lady Banks who defended the castle! Remember the annual school trip to Corfe - the school still visits there every year!! The guide says Lady Banks is buried in Ruislip, I presume its at St. Martins Church in Ruislip - it this true, too long ago now to remember details and have moved away!

Does anyone remember Mrs Oswald, Miss Williams (used to make us recite the 9 times tables every day), and Miss Evans. I remember Mr Bachelor as well - wasn't he the Head at one time ??

Just been back to Ruislip for Easter - my sister, Mandy, knows your wife and kids. Her son Robert Mair goes to Lady Bankes and to the after school club.
Small world.
I was telling him about the separate boys and girls playgrounds, he thought I was joking.

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!
