SPANISH ENGLISH STUDENT
I think I was one of the first Spanish students that went to England to learn English. This was forty years ago, and I suppose that I have lost a lot of my English. I lived in the Franciscan Convent School from September 1969 till April 1970. I remember Sister Filomena, Mark Balard and some other colleagues. I had such a nice experience there and I hope to visit the place again although I have read that nowadays it is not as I remember the place. It would be a pleasure to hear from others students at that time.

Hi, My name is Sally Rufus (nee Bell). I was at the convent around 1953/55 and just wondered if you knew of anyone else that might have been there around that time?

HI!
We were there at the same time…I was the only French speaking, from Switzerland...
I came in 09/69 - 07/71, then I came back one month during each summer...
I was at the boarding school, girls side with Sr.??!
You should have a look at Franciscan Convent Copthorne on Facebook!
I remember Sr. Bonaventure...as a teacher and "director" at that time...
Hasta la vista!
