Hardingstone School

Junior School c1955
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I went to the old school now the village hall in 1969. I was there for 3 years as an infant before going to the new school on Martins Lane in 1972. The new school was opened in 1971 I believe as my sister was the first intake and I can just about remember it. It was definately not built in 1955 as the photo indicates.

I lived at 4 Ansell Way from 1965 until 1977 and had the most fantastic childhood there. I can remember joining the local Cubs & scouts which was based to the right of the old school down a pathway that now leads to Delepre golf course.

The school buried a time capsule in 1976 in the school grounds which contained objects of the day and letters from us kids. Not sure if it has since been found?

Mr Joe Deer was the Headteacher at the time along with teachers such as David Blake, Mrs Page, Mrs Sue Robjohns, Miss Beech, Mrs Bush & others. A great school all in all.
