School Years 1960-69
Hi I attended the Primary School here from 1960-1967. My name was Laura Carter. My teachers were called Miss Symons & Mr Williams. I have lovely memories of wandering the fields around Pays Farm where my Dad worked, and long walks on the downs. I had a lovely happy childhood and remember clearly playing marbles in the playground, walking up to the church hall for an awful school dinner! and even being made to eat everything on the plate. I have a whole school photo taken in about 1966 but unfortunately remember very few of the children names. Does any else share these memories?

Hi, I went to this school around 1965-66. Mr Williams was the headmaster and I'm pretty sure Miss Symons was my teacher as well. We used fountain pens but were just being introduced to the biro. I remember going up to the chuch hall for lunch (walking past the stocks) and folding the tablecloths afterwards. Another firm memory I have is standing out the front of the school waving a union jack flag as the Queen Mother drove by.
We lived in the house called St. Margarets and our phone number was Harting 263! My Dad was a chef at the Angel Hotel in Guildford and my Mum worked at the garage opposite the Ship pub.
As a musician for the last 30 years, I also remember South Harting as being the place I first ever saw a live rock band - on the back of a trailer in the main street. Happy days.
