Riddlesdown Secondary School

I was a founder pupil at the then called Riddledown Secondary School. I lived in Sanderstead and we used to walk from there up over the downs to school which was situated at the top. We always felt safe, even when we were a little late from school after staying back for sports practice etc (or probably in my case detention). My mother was born in Kenley and my grandmother was a bar maid in the Rose and Crown way back in the 1900s, her name was Violet Ada Standing (maiden name West), an Irish lady who by all acounts made quite a name for herself. If anyone has any history on this family I would love to hear from them. Or any memories of school pupils from Riddlesdown or Selsdon School.
