My names Trevor Parker. Was there from i would say 1961 until 1965 left at 16
The old gym , think it was under the Art Room wasn't it.
I remember the new gym and the girls school coming for joint dancing lessons . Met my first love at those.
I remember pottery plates  i stuck enough jam on the sides ones as meal monitor .
Remember going up in the hills walking and on Meeon hill.
And the old peddle church organ outside the toilet. I would let newbies go to the loo in the night. Follow and when they went in i would peddle it like hell and hit the keys
Well we did tell stories about the Ghost of Father Ambrose
Actually looking back that place taught me a lot

Yip i remember your name dint remember the car thing. The dance classes were just after the gym was built and same year i left . Had to leave my first love that was hard. The 16 year old boy still loves her .  Yip i remember seeing the hook in the kitchen area. Prob a meat hook.  I was in the church choir but not good at singing, but something to do on sunday. Last while i were there i was over in the cottage , that was a good place to be.  Did you remember a woman i think she was a matron or something . Long black hair. Had a tiny Chihuahua Dog. I think she drowned not sure.
Trying to think of names. Paul Garside, David Davenport. Paul West. Cant really remember the names now.
