I do not know of anywhere else  but I was given a couple of pictures, moderate quality, which I am happy to share. Please give me a contact either post or email.

I regret that I do not remember you , but  do recall several incidents. Am I right in thinking a girl was expelled for getting pregnant ? I had my first pet, a white rat.  For the only time in my life I cried when my mother left me in  my first term. The Head must have been a progressive teacher. Do you remember a film about ballet, which opened  my eyes as to how tough male ballet dancers have to be .  I have an older friend who was there about 10 years before me. Are there any schools like it today ? John

Mr Ollerinshaw  was always the name I remembered. You must have been one of the big kids. My love of the countryside has never left me, I also still recall the fun of dancing outdoors in the summer . The only name I recall was Janet Hogsflesh, a couple of years older than me, on who I had my first crush.

I was there for two terms, following repeated poor health. When I left I took the 11+ at my old school , so must have been 10, thus 1951. I remember the head's name as Ollershaw but may be wrong. The school song brings back memories, spot on. I had my first crush there,  on a girl of about 14 called Janet Hogsflesh ( an uncommon Sussex name ). An older friend has a photo of the wooden huts. Like everybody else, all my memories are good, after I got over being deserted by my mother.
