I think they were all part of the Saracens Academy, who sponsored their place at St George’s, IIRC Harrow had a similar arrangement with Wasps until they moved to Coventry. London Irish have deals with both Wellington (the Armitages for instance) and Gordon's School Woking (Jake Ball and my daughte...

Trying to remember whose mini (Gunning's ?) was placed sideways in the cloister archway whilst we there. I also still have a photo of the last morning of term on my deps (88?) when the year above had made a house of cards from toilet doors in the quad along with setting up a couple of classrooms (de...

I was starting my UF when the merger happened. It was quite usual for UF/GE girls to have a relationship with Grecians - in general terms girls are a bit more mature than boys of a similar teenage and on a specific basis initially there were 3 times as many hormonal teenage boys looking for relation...

I remember being incredibly glad to be at CH. I lived between Itchingfield and Slinfold on the parish Boundary in a house adjoining the endicotts but as they were at CH i never saw any children outside school, i had no social life with my peers and lived in a small cramped cold house (4 later 5 chil...

When the Capital Theatre in Horsham shut in the early 80's CH theatre i believe managed to get the arts council grants for the area which is why we used to get all sorts of weird and wonderful productions (i remember there was always posters up for Button Moon). We also used to have school films in ...

I am pretty sure her retirement was planned about 5 years ago as my son left WCS on the same date as her and all the handover and succession planning had been in place for years

Having a July 12th Birthday I can remember end of term dates pretty well, think the earliest in my 7 years was the 5th and the latest the 11th I wasnt alive for Apollo but do remember watching the Mary Rose being lifted - for some reason I was in the sicker and was able to watch it all on the TV in ...

Would it be possible (or worth exploring) that the School (or foundation) promises to basically give the Benevolent Society of Blues a blank cheque to deal with any counselling etc required. I am sure the BSB being an arms length organisation already used to confidentially helping people would be ab...

Yes there is a little known scheme called AIPS (assisted instrument purchase scheme) that allows pupils of state schools learning an instrument to purchase their instrument nominally through the school to not have to pay the VAT - the local music shop flagged it up to us when we were buying a trombo...

Masters and Sir/Miss in the 80's

And some were very precious regarding correct naming of their subject

" i didn't spend 3 years at polytechnic to be called a manual teacher - it is craft design and technology", that was Mr Robinson, Webb's replacement in the Manual school

Vilified said that the boy played in the game following a blow to the head. However, the victim would have been crying. The victim would have been dizzy and in pain, and probably would not have been able to play rugby. Ignoring the rest of your post or even what this thread is about this statement ...

He did more than a year i think it was 2 min as I had him for ALevel further maths stats - for 1 year at least he had the centre hall study of LhA (about when the incident happened),

Also wasn't it Georg not George

Okay, so he may have taken a split-second wrong turn at a particular point in his earlier life, but I'm sure we've all done that and many times too, and I'm sure we all regret having done so (if we possess fully-functioning consciences, which Vilified clearly does). A few pages back, he mentioned a...
