Looking Back

Keith Johnson (Class of 1968) sent in this photo of a School trip to Portsmouth in 1965 – Keith (pictured second left, back row) and his classmates, including Philip Brammer, Stephen Gorski, Joe Howard, Ken Rigg and Dave Robinson, spent a week learning to sail dinghies on training ship Foudroyant (formerly HMS Trincomalee) accompanied by masters Mr De Maine and Mr Tydeman

Alan Pearce (Class of 1963) sent in this photograph of the 1963 Hockey 1st XI. Alan (centre, top row) can identify Morecroft, Seddon, Cubbin, Aldred, Entwistle and Middleton – and apologises to those whose names he is unable to recall! Please get in touch if you recognise any of the other team members.

Thank you to Bill Dick (Class of 1960) for this photo of the Lower Third, 1953-54 –although taken 70 years ago, Dick (on the middle row to the left of Mr Mills) can name most of the class and wonders if those featured can do so too!
