Hi Gary, I absolutely hated the infant school St Bens, I can't remember the pupils at the school, but who could forget Miss Quinn the Headmistress, I remember my first day being taken to her office to be introduced to her and the school, I stamped on her foot and ran for my life, leaving my...

I am sorry that you had such a wretched time, were you at Skilts or Cropwood, I was at Cropwood around 1960/61 hated it at first, but then grew to actually like it, I got the book A Breath of Fresh Air, very interesting read, it seems that everyone had different views and memories of their time...
