Woodlands Dormitory Pranks

A Memory of Frimley Green.

I was at Burrow Hill school from 1952 until 1956. I was sent there due to acute asthma and bronchitis. I have lots of fond memories of my time there and remember a boy called Alan Whittaker and a boy called Edward, surname Adrian I think. I also remember Mr and Mrs Reece and Mr and Mrs Cleaver who took over the headship from Mr and Mrs Reece.
We used to go under the buildings with our torches and one night four of five of us went out exploring about 2 o'clock in the morning with our torches through the fields. The police were called and members of staff searched for us. We all got a ticking off, of course, and because it was my idea I was branded the 'worst boy' in Woodlands dormitory by Mrs Cleaver.
I have many other memories and would love to share them with others who were there. I would particularly like to find Alan Whittaker who I believe came from Liverpool.
I have several photos of times and people there.

If anyone would like to contact me direct my telephone number is 0208 316 7945 and I live at 45 Glenmore Road, Welling, Kent DA16 3BN.
