Does anyone remember the dancing lessons and the socials? And the fancy dress and end of term play was the ‘Pirates of Penzance’ with Mrs Woods on the piano? Sylvia

I was a pupil at Wedges School I think in about 1952. The Headmaster was a Mr Olerinshaw ?(spelling) I remember the song we sang very well.  Would love to chat to anyone wh was there at that time.  JackyA

I Also remember the school play was the Pirates of Penzance.    I loved it there, but not sure why I went??? I think as it was post-war and my Mum was worried that I was very thin, although I don't remember not  eating well.  I had what they called "growing pains" in my legs and the doctor thought that I would benefit from a few months at a Health School.  I am now almost 82 so it was a long time ago!!  JackyA

Hi Jacky,
Do you remember doing The Mikado?
I set up the tuck shop at the end of one of the senior girls dormitory… can’t remember the name!
I am now 86, so we could have been there at the same time.
I was sent to Wedges from a children’s home in Southampton.  Left when I was 14…
